A Better Place A Better Time

[Verse 1] And so she wakes up In time to break down She left a note up on the dresser And she's right on time You don't know anything Right or wrong I said I know-oh-oh-oh And she said so-oh-oh-oh I wanna panic Yeah, I've had it, I go-oh-oh-oh You don't owe anything to anyone But don't take your life 'Cause it's all that you've got You'd be better off just up and leaving If you don't think they will stop [Chorus] And when you wake up Everything is gonna be fine I guarantee that you wake in a better place In a better time So you're tired of living Feel like you might give in Well don't It's not your time [Verse 2] Looking through the paper today Looking for a specific page Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates Because when I left her alone She made a sound, like a moan "You're known by everyone for everything you've done" Fuck buying flowers for graves I'd rather buy you a one-way non-stop To anywhere, find anyone, do anything Forget and start again, love She said she won't go It hurts too much to stand by You've got to stop and draw a line Everyone here has to choose a side tonight The moment of truth is haunting you Don't forget your family Regardless what you choose to do You can't decide And they're all screaming "why won't you?"
