| | A Better Place, A Better Time Lyrics Artist(Band):Streetlight Manifesto
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 said I know and she said so I wanna panic but I've had it so I go You don't owe anything to anyone But don't take your life 'cause it's all that you've got You'd be better off just off and leaving if you don't think they will stop And when you wake up everything is gonna be fine I guarantee that you wake in a better place in a better time So you're tired of living feel like you might give in well don't it's not your time Looking through the paper today looking for a specific page Don't wanna 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 Everyone here has to choose a side tonight the moment of truth is haunting you Don't forget your family regardless what you choose to do You can't 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 your bath and I'll load your gun But I hope so bad that you're bathe and hunt Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow (tomorrow) Tomorrow and she says, "The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me" (without me) Without me and she says, "If everyone has someone else, then I ain't got nobody's love to save me" (save me) Save me, and she says "I think I'll pass away tonight, 'cause it seems I'll never get it right, it's just me" (just reality) And when you wake up everything is gonna be fine Guarantee that you wake in a better place in a better time So you're tired of living 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 (her problems) Proplems and she says, as long as she has someone near to make it clear she does not need to solve them (solve them) Solve them and she says, "oh, this loneliness is killing me, it's filling me with anger and resentment (resentment) Resentment and she says, "I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again" And when you wake up everything is gonna be fine Guarantee that you wake up in a better place in a better time So you're tired of living you feel like you might give in well don't It's not your time Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow Tommorow and she says, "The saddest day i came across was when I learned that life goes on without me" Without me and she says, "If everyone has someone else, then I ain't got nobody's love to save me" Save me and she says, "I think I'll pass away tonight, 'cause it seems I'll never get it right, it's just me" Annie says! 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 feel like you might give in well don't It's not your time And even if it was so Oh 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're on your own but just know that I'm here and I'll lead you home if you let me She said "forget me" but I can't If you find some error in A Better Place, A Better Time Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about A Better Place, A Better Time Thirty Shmirty | Reviewer: Carrie | 10/5/09 This is to the anonymous poster who is "knocking on the door of 30". Don't sell yourself short, man. GO TO THE SHOWS! Everyone else there is either too drunk or too into the music to even CARE about your age. It isn't as if there's a "30" embossed on your forehead. Hope to see you at some shows! Sincerely, Carrie (26) yeah | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/26/09 This song is amazing. and if you can't tell it's about suicide you're a fool. one piece of evidence, Look at the chorus. "so you're tired of living, and you feel giving up well dont. it's not your time" why the hell would you ever say that to a girl you messed up with? A message from the future you... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/5/09 I got into Catch22 shortly after the release of Keasby while I was in high school (do the math). I'm now knocking on the door of 30, and while I admit I grew tired of ska and my musical tastes expanded from there, I never seem to grew tired of listen to Tomas pour his heart and soul into his music. Keasby is the only CD I've purchased legally more than once (4 times total). I'd kill to see them live again for the first time in 10 years, but who the hell wants to be the old guy at the ska show? I used to make fun of that guy... Anyway, after reading a lot of the comments on here I just want to say as a certified loser in high school, we all think of offing ourselves at one point or another. The feelings will pass eventually, and you'll forget all about it in time. Keep your chins up little fuckers, 'cause it's a big wide world and you ain't seen enough of it to judge, yet. a short rant | Reviewer: the dude | 8/22/09 To the person who doesn't think this about suicide because of the last lines, the reason she is saying forget me is because when somebody kills themselves they are gone forever,except in memory, any way he couldn't stand not having her in his life so he hopes she doesn't kill herself. Another thing is just because its about killing ones self doesn't mean it is emo. It might just be me but I think it is so annoying when people just say something is emo because it has to do with suicide. If that's all emo was well there would be no emos left so that obviously isn't it. Streetlight is SKA not emo. Final thought streetlight is awesome and so is this song. Hah. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/15/09 I love how none of the commenters in here have the balls to comment on the MUSIC of the song (which, I think, is Streetlight's stronger front). The horn section in this, and all Streetlight songs, blows me away, just because of how it is used in so many ways. The genre-flipping is so very smooth, which shows that Tomas is a guy who doesn't only know the different genres he's playing with (ska, classical, rock, etc) but he understands their inner workings to the point where he can take the frayed end of one, and seamlessly attach it to another. Also; yes. The song is about suicide. Now calm down. It doesn't matter what a song is about. The fact that this song is about suicide means about as much to me as if it was about bees. And I Love Bees. What matters more is the lyricist's presentation of the subject matter, and how he handles certain aspects of the subject. I think that Streetlight is brilliant in how they approach questions like suicide with the understanding of how helpless a person is to someone else's wishes. If you want to kill yourself, I can't stop you. Hate to beat the dead horse, but lines 47-48 hit this point well. I've gotta say, for ska, appealing to us younger generations, Streetlight handles most stuff tastefully. Great Tune | Reviewer: Neo Jerk | 6/15/09 So this was the first song I heard by them (a live version from the Ska is Dead comp), and it really turned me on to them. It's true that Kalnoky talks alot about his aversion to suicide, but it's always tasteful and thoughtful (check out the lyrics to "Here's to Life"). sweet | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/18/09 the comment below me is right. i mean. i can see how its about suicide because he's saying she shouldn't kill herself because she loves him so much. you know? streetlight is really good, almost too good to the point where all the "emo fucks" and scene kids listen to them. Response to "you emo fucks" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/18/09 the guy who claims this isnt about suicide is retarded, this is clearly about it and i think he/she needs to grow the fuck up. Why the fuck would someone say "I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun but i hope so bad that you bathe and hunt" to someone they were in love with?? This song clearly deals with suicide and I think its an amazing song, one of my all time favorites. The guy calling us "emo fucks" for being intelligent enough to understand a songs meaning is an idiot. love this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/17/09 um it actually is the bands friend recently had either committed suicide or considered it and they wrote like half the album about how hard it was. idk if it was just the lead singer or the lyricist or whoever does that for them but yeah you emo fucks | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/12/09 this song is about a guy that loves a girl and probably had a history with her. but he fucked up and regrets it and wishes she would take him back but chances are he fucked up too bad and will never get her back. but like it says in the last lines "I know that you think that you're on your own but just know that I'm here and I'll lead you home if you let me She said "forget me" but I can't" so for all you fucks that think its about suicide its not so stop being self rightous and trying to look into why its emo with the whole suicide theory....
