lyrics

and we keep saying
"a change is coming"
but every morning
i wake up to find
i'm stuck in the same thing
mundane cycling
do we keep waiting
to know when it is time?

and is it true
that anything gets better?
this is just
the world we've got for now?
can there be
a place where we can settle?
where freedom finds
it's solid ground?
we'll take what we can
make what we have to
learn something more than we've been shown
i'll tell myself that things'll get better
and hard times teach me how to grow

sometimes i daydream
that i'm somewhere further
and i start to miss you
remember when we'd talk about healing our sadness
like it's something we could fix?
now i've learned it is
just how we've all been burned

believing that
anything gets better
and this is just
the world we've got for now
can there be
a place where we can settle?
where freedom finds
it's solid ground?
we'll take what we can
make what we have to
tell ourselves this is a long road
keep hoping things'll get better
and hard times teach us how to grow
