Don't hold me to this thought
Please don't pin me down
Don't say I told you so
When it come back around
But things look better now

It's been a long, hard night
With noises in the wind
The failing candle light
The sun's arisin' friend
But things look better now

It's better now than never
Better to limp than to crawl
It's better now than never
Better now than not at all

I know I'll eat these words
My spring will turn into sprawl
And it'll seem so absurd
But one day I'll recall
How things looked better now
(repeat)

It's better now than never
Better to limp than to crawl
It's better now than never
Better now than not at all
