Better Days

These are the days of our lives

But I'm just drinking not to cry

While you're out playing

I'm just hanging out inside

Watching the street creeps roll on by

Complete opposites on the zodiac chart

It makes no sense to me

I guess it sums it up

As to why we are apart

It wasn't mean to be

But the downs kept us spinnin'

Round and round and round

These are the days of our lives

But I'm just drinking not to cry

While you're out playing

I'm just hanging out inside

Watching the street creeps roll on by

Now you're all out there on your own

And I'm just a kid in comparison

To how much you've probably grown

I'm a mess

So much like my place

But I'm alright

Despite the wrinkles on my face

(Change)

I suppose you're happy now

With your big house, two dogs, and Dr. Gray

And I'm so happy for you that I can't

Find the words to say

And yes I'm on the grind

But when I find the time

I too might get to play

But in the meantime

I'm still waiting for my

Brown-eyed fancy to come my way

If you were to ask me now how I'm doing

I might confess that I'm still low

And I feel ruined

But I just might confess that I've seen better days

These are the days of our lives

But I'm just drinking

While I'm thinking not to cry

While you're out playing

I'm just hanging out inside

Watching the street creeps roll on by
