Streetlight Manifesto - A Better Place, A Better Time lyrics

So she wakes up in time to break down
She left a note up on the dresser
And she's right on time
You don't know anything, right or wrong
I said, "I know-ow-ow-ow"
And she said, "So-o-o-o?"
I wanna panic, but I've had it, so I go-o-o-o
"You don't owe anything to anyone
But don't take your life
'Cause it's all that you've got
You'd be better off just up and leaving
If you don't think they will stop"
"And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
In a better time so you're tired of living?
You feel like you might give in? Well don't
It's not your time"

Lookin' through the paper today
Lookin' for a specific page


Don't wanna find her full
Name followed by dates
'Cause when I left her alone
She made a sound like a moan
"You're known by everyone for
Everything you've done"
Fuck buyin' flowers for graves
I'd rather buy you a one way non-stop
To anywhere, find anyone, do anything
Forget and start again, love
She says she won't go (And that's that)
It hurts too much to stand by
You've gotta stop and draw a line
Everyone here has to choose a side tonight
The moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family regardless what
You choose to do you can't decide
And they're all screaming, "Why won't you?"
I'll start the engine
But I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath, and I'll load your gun
But, I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt

Annie's tired of forgettin' about today
And always plannin' for tomorrow
(Tomorrow) Tomorrow, Annie says
"The saddest day I came across was when I
Learned that life goes on without me"
(Without me) Without me, and I said
"If everyone has someone else, well
I ain't got nobody's love to save me"
(To save me) To save me, and she said
"I think I'll pass away tonight, 'cause it
Seems I'll never get it right, it's just me"
(It's just me) Just me, and I said

"And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
Guarantee that you wake in a better place
In a better time so you're tired of livin'?
You feel like you might give in? Well don't
It's not your time

Annie said she wouldn't mind if they never
Find a cure to all her problems
(Her problems) Problems, and she said
"As long as she has someone near to make
It clear she doesn't need to solve them"
(To solve them) Solve them, and she said
"Oh, this loneliness is killing me
It's filling me with anger and resentment"
(Resentment) Resentment, and she said
"I'm turning into someone that I never
Thought I'd have to be again"

And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
Guarantee that you wake in a better place
In a better time so you're tired of livin'?
Feel like you might give in? Well don't
It's not your time

Oh, Annie's tired of forgettin' about today
And always plannin' for tomorrow, tomorrow
And she said "The saddest day I came across
Was when I learned
That life goes on without me, " without me
And I said
"If everyone has someone else, well
I ain't got nobody's
Love to save me, " so save me, and she said
"I think I'll pass away tonight
'cause it seems I'll never
Get it right, it's just me, " it's just me
And I said

"And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
And in a better time
So you're tired of livin'?
And you feel like you might give in?
Well don't it's not your time"

"And even if it was so, oh
I wouldn't let you go
You can run run run run
But I will follow close"
Someday, you'll say "that's it, that's all"
But, I'll be waiting there with open
Arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
But just know that I'm here
And I'll lead you home if you let me
She said, "Forget me, " but I can't
