I just want you to know that I'm stuck in your soul
Funny how last week I thought it couldn't be so
What I see in your eyes words can't come close
No matter what your father says I just want you to know
That you're a beautiful person, and I want you to grow
The way he talks to you's just so inappropriately
I hope that you're strong, when he's doing you wrong
And I hope you find comfort in the words of these songs
Now sing along and while I tell you this story just listen closely
I know you like my music but look, you don't really know me
See I live outside the city where there's nothing going on
I just look around for meaning while I'm sitting on my lawn
One day I met this girl and she was beautiful too
I look closely at her eyes, a nice light shade of blue
She was still in high school, I was one year removed
We're both a little older from the things we've been through
Pretty soon I started seeing all the things he would do
She wasn't black and blue but emotionally bruised
It made me so mad I didn't know what to do
Told her no matter what, I'mma be there for you
But as things became more hectic in my life I started fadin' out
Began to lie to her, I wasn't fair to her, I hate it now
I hope that you can understand my honesty
I really fuckin' wanna knock that dude out honestly
You don't have to believe it but I think about you every day
I sing about you every way cause you're the perfect melody
I know the world ain't perfect but to me you were my everything
My little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days
I pray for better days
I know what has to happen I'm away
I know in my life I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days
I wanna go back where we were sittin' at that ice cream shop
I'm lookin' at you in your eyes I'm feelin' like my heart has stopped
You laugh at me for gettin' soy peanut butter
Back then I thought (shit, nah)
I don't need no other person in my life and nothing else don't even matter to me
Maybe I'm so numb that nothin' bad can ever happen to me
Maybe I'm so evil I attract all of these tragedies
Maybe we're so graceful we create all of these masterpieces
So facetious we would laugh about it
Nobody can reach us for a half an hour sleepin' in my half-apartment we don't have to watch the news
I never felt more comfortable my face so close to you
And I'mma break it down for you
I think about you every day I sing about you every way cause you're the perfect melody
I know the world ain't perfect but to me you were my everything
My little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days
I pray for better days
I know what has to happen I'm away
I know in my life I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days
What does it mean if I don't know what love feels like
My parents got divorced when I was young so I just feel like
Examples that I have to look upon are probably not great
Knowing you're in a similar position doesn't make it O.K.
I'm feeling like my goal is to make these blue skies turn grey
But in the blink of an eye it could go away
So even if it's just for ten minutes I wanna drive around with you
And think about our life in the present these are our better days
I pray for better days
I know what has to happen I'm away
I know in my life I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days
I pray for better days
I know what has to happen I'm away
I know in my life I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days days days
The other day I was thinkin' like
How come you never make a happy song you know what I'm saying?
