Better Days
Sergio & The Ladies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the utopia that we had some day
And I don't care of what happens from now on
I want everything I had, tell me, is that wrong?
And lately I just sit and relive my memories
I guess this kind of life isn't supposed for me
And I don't care of what happens from now on
I just miss having better days
I just miss having better days
I just miss having better days
Like we used to
And the nostalgia is rapidly kicking in
I want it all, not anything that's in between
And I don't care of what happens from now on
I want everything I had, tell me, is that wrong?
I just miss having better days
I just miss having better days
I just miss having better days
Like we used to
