Get Better

I know you can’t help but imagine me when I was seventeen
Before necessity affected me
Still living out some dream
Of never standing still
The poison pill
I ran from always seemed to be
Bigger than the destination

The months have blurred and faded
Relegated vast majorities
Of all the games we played
A wild maze
Of flashing memories
I’d live it all again
Just to pretend
That one of us might see a way
They say…

Nothing gold can stay
We’ll be old someday
And waste our lives away
Waiting, waiting for life to get better
Fold or play
We are not okay
We’ll waste our lives away
Waiting, waiting for life to get better

Why was our generation’s
Innovation life inside a screen?
As if some simulated liberation
Could ever set us free
We dressed ourselves in chains
And still complain
About the world we see, but we
Believe

Nothing gold can stay
We’ll be old someday
And waste our lives away
Waiting, waiting for life to get better
Fold or play
We are not okay
Waste our lives away
Waiting, waiting for life to get better

Tell me there’s a better day coming
Say the word and you know I’ll come runnin’

Nothing gold can stay
We’ll be old someday
And waste our lives away
Waiting, waiting for life to get better
Fold or play
We are not okay
Waste our lives away
Waiting, waiting for life to get better
