Better Than Today
Rhys Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't read the headlines
And I don't watch the news
'Cause I lose faith in somethin' every time I do
Well I don't need to bury
My head in the sand
But I'm just tryna live this life as best as I can

Times get tough
But I don't give up
'Cause I know I'm not alone

'Cause we all reaching for something
We're all craving change
Hopin' tomorrow, tomorrow
Is better than today
We're all searchin' for somewhere
Tryin' to find a way
Hopin' tomorrow, tomorrow
Is better than today
Hopin' tomorrow, tomorrow
Is better than today

It's not easy sleepin'
When I lay down in bed
'Cause I got all these worries runnin' through my head
And it's hard to keep pushin' forward
When trouble pulls you back
And you wake up even further from a dream you had

Times get tough
But I don't give up
'Cause I know I'm not alone

'Cause we're all reaching for something




We're all craving change
Hopin' tomorrow, tomorrow
Is better than today
We're all searchin' for somewhere
Tryin' to find a way
Hopin' tomorrow, tomorrow
Is better than today
Hopin' tomorrow, tomorrow's better

So just hold on when someone breaks you
Just hold on when fear shakes you
Just hold on when darkness takes you
Just hold on

'Cause we all reaching for something
We're all craving change
Hopin' tomorrow, tomorrow
Is better than today
So let's keep searching for somewhere
We're gonna find a way
To make tomorrow, tomorrow
Better than today
Let's make tomorrow, tomorrow
Better than today
Let's make tomorrow, tomorrow
Better than today
Let's make tomorrow, tomorrow
Better than today
Let's make tomorrow, tomorrow
Better than today
Let's make tomorrow, tomorrow
Better than today
