Better Days Lyrics
Better days are comin', if no one told you
I hate to hear you cryin', over the phone, dear
For seven years runnin', you've been a soldier
[Pre-Chorus]
But better days are comin'
Better days are comin' for you (Mm-hmm)
So when the night feels like forever (Mm-hmm)
I'll remember what you said to me
[Chorus]
I know you've been hurtin'
Waitin' on a train that just won't come
The rain, it ain't permanent
And soon we'll be dancin' in the sun
We'll be dancin' in the sun
And we'll sing your song togеther (Hey-hey, hеy-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
[Verse 2]
We never miss the flowers until the sun's down
You never count the hours until they're runnin' out
You're on the other side of the storm now, you should be so proud
[Pre-Chorus]
Better days are comin'
Better days are comin' for you (Mm-hmm)
So when the night feels like forever (Mm-hmm)
I'll remember what you said to me
I know you've been hurtin' (Is our time ever soothin'?)
Waitin' on a train that just won't come
The rain, it ain't permanent (Is our time ever soothin'?)
And soon we'll be dancin' in the sun
We'll be dancin' in the sun
And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
[Bridge]
Your story's gonna change, just wait for better days
You've seen too much of pain, now you don't even know
That your story's gonna change, just wait for better days
I promise you, I won't let go
[Chorus]
I know you've been hurtin'
Waitin' on a train that just won't come
The rain, it ain't permanent (Is our time ever soothin'?)
And soon we'll be dancin' in the sun
We'll be dancin' in the sun
And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we'll sing your song together (Yeah, we'll sing your song, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we'll sing your song together (Yeah, we'll sing your song, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)

I wrote this in early 2021 based on my own life and the encouragement I received from the people around me to not give up and keep going through everything. It came at a good time, because it was in the midst of all the lockdowns and everything. resisted that, because | don’t want to be someone who’s making songs to profit from the times. If I’m going to speak on something, I want it to be very meaningful, so I resisted the idea that it was a COVID song. Then we started playing it at festivals when music came back and immediately I was like, ‘Huh, that’s exactly what this is, we’ve all been apart and this is how people are receiving this song.’ It was lovely to see what it meant to people.
It’s a song about overcoming your fears and believing in better days.
“Better Days” is out now!! I can’t begin to tell you how good it feels to finally have new music out in the world. This song and this video are about perseverance and pushing through life’s troubles, knowing that something better is always waiting for us on the other side.
