Look For A Better Way
Rod Argent & Colin Blunstone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I take my chance and so at last
I grab my future from the past mistakes
Some kind of revolution

Cause golden days
Which come too soon
Dissolve in breakfast honeymoon heartache
That's such a sad conclusion

We played the game
Let's not play twice
No risk, no shame
Just take a chance on ourselves
We can look for a better way

We had it all and lost it once
Let's not rely on providence to shape
We make our own solutions

So close your eyes
And count to ten
And visualize the days from when we had
No case for absolution

We played the game
Let's not play twice
No risk, no shame
Just take a chance on ourselves
We can look for a better way

We'll roll the dice
Do what it takes
Make it suffice
Just take a chance on ourselves
We can look for a better way

No stone unturned
No bridge unburned
No lifeline spurned
Each lesson learned is a book
If we can look for a part to play
And live in a better way





We can look for a better way
