A Better Way

And so it commences

That damn familiar feeling out of place

Put up defenses

Covering the fraud in a worried face

If someone told me I am never the only one

Who struggles being ill at ease

I'd run it back, take a different tact

Stop pretending you would disagree

I got to believe there's a better way

And if you help me find it, I promise the debt's gonna be repaid

Just under the surface

There's a faded memory that makes us stir

Demands our attention

Steps into the ring as an amateur

You asked a question that I never forgot

And it's keeping me awake

"How will we ever feel human again

When we can't suppress the ache?"

(Hey la la la, hey la la la) I remember this you said

(Hey la la la, hey la la la) It's a gift to have another breath

Woke up from a bad dream

Fell out of a fast-moving Cadillac

Dusty and battered

Maybe this was what defeated Jack Kerouac

You check the time and you make a decision

Not to fuel more regret

Don't have to be your worst enemy

When you open up and don't forget

I got to believe there's a better way

And if you help me find it, I promise the debt's gonna be repaid

I got to believe there's a better way

And if you help me find it, I promise the debt's gonna be repaid
