Better Day

The day started out like any other

He woke up and his feet rolled off like lead

It's a blessing and a curse to remember

All the things that she once said

I love you

The sun came up slow today

He's got to learn to live that way

It's cold in his bed, it's cold in his bed

He'll find some strength to linger on

Past the footsteps of the dawn

She's running through his head, she's running through

His head

And it matters, and it matters to him

And it matters, she's underneath his skin

She lives up underneath his skin

He's gotta find a better day

Five years now and still he knew

The way she smiled when she said the news

That their two would now be three

A brand new baby

Made his vows to last a life long

Brought it to him wrapped it up

Yeah he wrapped it in a song

He wrapped his whole life in that song

And it matters, and it matters to him

And it matters, she's underneath his skin

She lives up underneath his skin

He's gotta find a better day

He stays away from windy heights

He's afraid that he might fly

On his knees he asks God why

On those slow nights he can still hear the flat line

He can still hear the flat line

And it matters, and it matters to him

And it matters, she's underneath his skin

She lives up underneath his skin

He's gotta find a better day
