Only a Wave (Better Days)

[Verse 1] I know I'm never gonna make the same mistake It's the one thing I know as I lie awake I saw you as the sun but you're only a day I saw you as the ocean but you're only a wave [Verse 2] Well, I asked for it all, you gave it to me But what you gave was broken and I couldn't see Everyone said I was blind, but I kept digging deeper To see what I'd find, and I found... [Chorus] I know there must be better days Right around the corner Maybe the life I'm meant to live's Out in California, someday [Verse 3] Now the nights are long and I can't sleep And I can hear the people out there in the street They see me in the window as they walk by Separated by the glass as they're living their lives And they say... [Chorus] I know there must be better days Right around the corner Maybe the life I'm meant to live's Out in California, someday Someday [Verse 4] When the moon shines bright in the skies above We're just kids and poets looking for love And none of us'll know till the end is near If we got what we wanted when the clouds have cleared [Chorus] I know there must be better days Right around the corner I want the life they seem to live Out in California, someday Someday Someday
