Better Days
Nick Pitera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you feel like love is never knockin', knockin' at your door,
And it seems like you can't, you can't take it, take it, take no more
Please don't let them throw, throw you around
If you never stand up then you'll never, never leave the ground
When you're feeling down on nothing like you ain't goin nowhere
Feeling small and insecure and so easy to scare
But I know that time will see us through
I will be waiting, anticipating
The love is waiting 'round the bend
God knows I'm trying and all of my crying will not go to waste
I see better days

I feel like running but I know I will fall down
I feel like crying but I know in tears I soon will drown
Time to take my own advice and give it one more try
With every step I take who knows a day that I get by
I know that you are, you're feeling blue
I know that you don't believe in you
But I know that time will see you through

And I, and I, will be waiting, anticipating, the love it's, it's waiting 'round the bend
God knows I'm trying and all of my crying will not go to waste
I see better days

When the world gets long and you don't think you'll make it one more day
Just turn your head and push the hate and bigotry away
Cause I hope that, and I feel that, and I know that our love will see us through
And someday soon you'll see better.

I will be waiting, anticipating, (You'll see that, you'll see that) the love is waiting round the bend (It's waiting round, it's waiting round)
And God knows I'm trying, and all of my crying will not go to waste
I see better days

Love is, yes, love is, yes love is, it's waiting round the
love is, yes love is, yes love is, it's waiting round the bend




Love is, yes love is, yes love is, it's waiting round the
Love is, love is, yes love is, yes love is, it's waiting round the bend

3) What is wrong with the internet?
4) Nick sign a track and please sing for Disney movies! You sooo GOT this! :D
