*** A Better Place, A Better Time ***
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 say i know and she says so
i want to panic but i've had it so i go
(you don't owe anything to anyone)
but don't take your life becuase it's all you've got
you'd be better off just up and leaving if you don't
think they will stop
and when you wake up, everything is going to be fine i
guarantee that you wake in a better place in a better
time so you're tired of living and you feel that you
might give in well don't it's not your time
flipping through the paper today looking for a
specific page don't want to 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 and that's that it
hurts too much to stand by you've got to stop and draw
a line and everyone here has to choose a side tonight
the moment of truth is haunting you don't forget your
family regardless of what you choose to do. you cant
decide and they're all screaming "why won't you?" i'll
start the engine but i can't take this ride for you
i'll draw the bath and i'll load your gun but i hope
so hard that you bathe and hunt.
annie's tired of forgetting about today and always
planning for tomorrow annie says "the saddest day i
came across was when i learned that life goes on
without me" annie says "if everyone has someone else,
then i ain't got nobody's love to save me" annie says
"i think i'll pass away tonight, because it seems i'll
never get it right if it's just me"
and when you wake up everything's going to be fine
i guarantee that you'll wake in a better place in a
better time.
so you're tired of living and you feel like you might
give in, well don't. it's not your time.
annie says she wouldn't mind if they never find a cure
for all her problems. annie says as long as she has
someone near to make it clear she does not need to
solve them "oh this loneliness is killing me it's
filling me with anger and resentment i'm turning into
someone that i never thought i'd have to be again"
and even if it was i wouldn't let you go you could run
run run run but i will follow close someday you will
say "that's it, that's all" but i'll be waiting there
with open arms to break your fall i know that you
think that you are on your own but just know that i am
here and i'll lead you home if you let me she said
forget me but i can't
