[Intro] [Soft atmospheric electric guitar, distant reverb, subtle vinyl texture] [Quiet, almost spoken vocal] Another night, another ceiling Same old thoughts, same old feeling They say the best is yet to come Well, I’m still waiting for that one… [Verse 1] I’ve been counting down the days Trying not to lose my faith Everybody says I’m doing fine But they don’t see the other side I’ve got a smile I wear to work A thousand thoughts I never word And every time I think I’m through There’s something else I’m fighting through [Pre-Chorus] And I’m so tired of being patient So sick of all this temporary They say the storm will pass me by But it’s been raining all my life [Chorus] It’s gonna get better, but it’s taking forever I’m holding it together with a thousand loose threads I’m trying to believe that there’s something much better But I’m so damn tired of the words in my head And I know, I know, I know That the sun’s supposed to shine But I’ve been waiting on a brighter day For the longest fucking time It’s gonna get better Yeah, it’s gonna get better But it’s taking forever tonight [Verse 2] Another friend is moving on Another year has come and gone I’m clapping while I’m standing still And wondering if I ever will I’ve tried the books, I’ve tried the plans I’ve tried to make the best I can I’m told that everything’s alright But nobody’s here at 3am tonight [Pre-Chorus] And I’m so tired of the waiting Of waking up and rearranging The broken pieces of my mind Just to make it through another night [Chorus] It’s gonna get better, but it’s taking forever I’m holding it together with a thousand loose threads I’m trying to believe that there’s something much better But I’m so damn tired of the words in my head And I know, I know, I know That the sun’s supposed to shine But I’ve been waiting on a brighter day For the longest fucking time It’s gonna get better Yeah, it’s gonna get better But it’s taking forever tonight [Bridge] [Drop to piano and intimate vocals, gradually building] Maybe I’m not where I thought I’d be Maybe there’s still a chance for me Maybe healing isn’t straight Maybe I’m allowed to feel this way I don’t need the perfect ending I don’t need to know the when I just need a little something To make me want to try again [Instrumental Build] [Drums gradually return, rising guitars, building tension] [Final Chorus] [Full explosive band, layered backing vocals, passionate lead vocal] It’s gonna get better, but it’s taking forever I’m holding it together, but I’m still here instead I’m trying to believe that there’s something much better And maybe tomorrow I’ll get out of my head And I know, I know, I know That the sun is gonna shine Even if it takes another thousand nights I’m gonna see the other side It’s gonna get better Yeah, it’s gonna get better I’m not giving up on forever [Outro] [Band drops away, clean electric guitar and vulnerable vocal] Another night, another ceiling But maybe now I’m changing the feeling It’s gonna get better… [Quietly, almost spoken] I just wish it wouldn’t take forever. [End]
