[Intro – slow amp hum + dry baritone breath + single strum on buckshot guitar in C major] [Verse 1 – raw acoustic strum + deep male vocal with close-mic presence] I used to chase the highest highs Waiting for the perfect life Thinking someday, somehow Everything would work out right But the years, they come,they go And all we have is what we hold Not every dream comes true But some still do [Pre-Chorus – low guitar drone + light echo reverb + dusty kick thump] Oooo girl I love you and it’s... Better Yeah better Better [Chorus – heavy strum + saturated vocal reverb + explosive full band entry] Better some than none Better here than gone Not every road is golden But still, we walk along Not every wish comes easy Not every fight is won But love, yeah love even a little, Is better than none [Verse 2 – returning to intimate mic tone + muted chord strikes + breathy delivery] I’ve seen the rain, I’ve felt the cold Watched good things slip through my hold But even in the in-between There’s beauty left to see The smallest moments, quiet nights A hand to hold, a soft "goodnight"Maybe it’s not everything But it’s enough for me (yeaah oohhh) [Chorus – full rhythm guitar + echo lead vocal + live room energy] Better some than none Better here than gone Not every road is golden But still, we walk along Not every wish comes easy Not every fight is won But love, even a little, yeah even a little.... Is better than none [Guitar Solo – electric lead riff in C major + long echo tails + blues slide phrases] [Bridge – stripped down to vocal + tremolo guitar + slow echo build] No use waiting for the sky to clear If there's light right now, right here Maybe we don't get it all But we still get to love, we still get to fall [Chorus – final explosion with full band, harmonies + overdriven solo layered beneath] Better some than none Better here than gone Not every road is golden But still, we walk along Not every wish comes easy Not every fight is won But love, even a little, Is better than none [Outro – sustained guitar feedback + soft breath vocal echo + amp fade crackle]
