Better Days Lyrics

On the borderline
Playing overtime
Pushed the minute to the limit for a long time
And the second I cross the finish line
I'll be wishing I had listened to the voice inside

I can't remember how it feels
To know which seeds I ought to sow

It's an ordinary feeling
An extraordinary reason
I've seen better days
I would love to say I'm ready
Just to tell you where I'm headed
I've seen better days

Walking on a wire over burning fire
People pressure while I
Question what to do with my life
Let myself rewind to another time
When tomorrow used to follow a command of some kind
I don't want no pity
All I really need is steady peace of mind sometimes

It's an ordinary feeling
An extraordinary reason
I've seen better days
I would love to say I'm ready
Just to tell you where I'm headed
I've seen better days

Take your time and I'll take mine
Why did I ever try to compromise
This thing called life can be so unkind
Why did I put mine on the line
Well better days were on their way

It's an ordinary feeling
An extraordinary reason
I've seen better days
I would love to say I'm ready
Just to tell you where I'm headed

I've seen better days
It's an ordinary feeling
An extraordinary reason
I've seen better days
I would love to say I'm ready
Just to tell you where I'm headed
I've seen better days
