Cam Meekins - Better Days Lyrics
[Verse 1]I just want you to know that I'm stuck in your soulFunny how last week I thought it couldn't be soWhat I see in your eyes words can't come closeNo matter what your father says I just want you to knowThat you're a beautiful person, and I want you to growThe way he talks to you's just so inapproI hope that you're strong, when he's doing you wrongAnd I hope you find comfort in the words of these songsNow sing along and while I tell you this story just listen closelyI know you like my music but look, you don't really know meSee I live outside the city where there's nothing going onI just look around for meaning while I'm sitting on my lawnOne day I met this girl and she was beautiful tooI look closely at her eyes, a nice light shade of blueShe was still in high school, I was one year removedWe're both a little older from the things we've been throughPretty soon I started seeing all the things he would doShe wasn't black and blue but emotionally bruisedIt made me so mad I didn't know what to doTold her no matter what, I'mma be there for youBut as things became more hectic in my life I started fadin' outBegan to lie to her, I wasn't fair to her, I hate it nowI hope that you can understand my honestyI really *****in' wanna knock that dude out honestlyYou don't have to believe it but I think about you every dayI sing about you every way cause you're the perfect melodyI know the world ain't perfect but to me you were my everythingMy little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days[Hook]I pray for better daysI know what has to happen I'm awayI know in my life I've made mistakesBut I'm holdin' on for better daysX2[Verse 2]I wanna go back where we were sittin' at that ice cream shopI'm lookin' at you in your eyes I'm feelin' like my heart has stoppedYou laugh at me for gettin' soy peanut butterBack then I thought (shit, nah)I don't need no other person in my life and nothing else don't even matter to meMaybe I'm so numb that nothin' bad can ever happen to meMaybe I'm so evil I attract all of these tragediesMaybe we're so graceful we create all of these masterpiecesSo facetious we would laugh about itNobody can reach us for a half an hour sleepin' in my half-apartment we don't have to watch the newsI never felt more comfortable my face so close to youAnd I'mma break it down for youI think about you every day I sing about you every way cause you're the perfect melodyI know the world ain't perfect but to me you were my everythingMy little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days[Hook]I pray for better daysI know what has to happen I'm awayI know in my life I've made mistakesBut I'm holdin' on for better daysX2[Verse 3]What does it mean if I don't know what love feels likeMy parents got divorced when I was young so I just feel likeExamples that I have to look upon are probably not greatKnowing you're in a similar position doesn't make it O.K.I'm feeling like my goal is to make these blue skies turn greyBut in the blink of an eye it could go awaySo even if it's just for ten minutes I wanna drive around with youAnd think about our life in the present these are our better days[Hook]I pray for better daysI know what has to happen I'm awayI know in my life I've made mistakesBut I'm holdin' on for better daysX2I pray for better daysI know what has to happen I'm awayI know in my life I've made mistakesBut I'm holdin' on for better days days days[Outro]The other day I was thinkin' likeHow come you never make a happy song you know what I'm saying?
