Better Days
RÜFÜS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not the way you smile that makes me realize
I think I love you, oh, ohh
It just might be that all my life I've been searchin' for
Someone just like you

Takin' my time
Everything's fine
I call you by the phone
Nobody's home

We've got better days
There'll be better days
We've got better days
Yeah

I don't know why but I wanna cry
Every time you touch me
I've given' up, just can't help it
In your arms is where I'd rather be

I just can't hide it
So I decided to give
Stored away, I've got the strength to live

There'll be better days
We've got better days
There'll be better days
Yeah

Better days, better days
Better days, better days
Better days (yeah), better days (yeah)
Better days (yeah), better days (yeah, yeah)
Better days, better days (feels so, so, good)
Better days (sing baby), better days (sing)
Better days (I sing), better days (oh, oh, ohh)
Better days (ooh), better days (hey)
Better days, better days
Better days, better days
Better days, better days
Better days, better days
Better days, better days




Better days, better days
Better days, better days

Cada noche
Me llevo a donde los cielos son azules
A donde nadamos cuando te conocí
Quédate aquí
Pasé los mejores días de mi vida contigo
Ver nubes formarse en la distancia
Veo el atardecer en la playa contigo
aún no ha terminado
Quiero tu amor
Y lo quiero mal
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
Quiero tu amor
Y lo quiero mal
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
empecemos de nuevo
Volvamos a donde empezamos
Cuando se hablaba de envejecer
He estado esperando junto al agua
Empecemos de nuevo
Quiero tu amor
Y lo quiero mal
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
Quiero tu amor
Y lo quiero mal
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
Sé que las palabras no cambian y
Sé que tu corazón sigue doliendo
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
Incluso cuando la luz no puede encontrarme
Sé que el sol sigue brillando
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
Oh, solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
Quiero tu amor
Y lo quiero mal
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor
Quiero tu amor
Y lo quiero mal
solo quiero tratarte mejor
solo quiero tratarte mejor

I met the love of my life because of a Rufus Du Sol concert, and three years later, and we went to see them for the third time last weekend. This band will always be a part of life ❤
