Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I 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
[Verse 2]
That you're a beautiful person and I want you to grow
The way he talks to you is just so inappro
I hope that you're strong when he's doin' you wrong
And I hope you find comfort in the words of these songs
[Verse 3]
Now sing along 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 nothin' goin' on
I just look around for meaning while I'm sittin' on my lawn
[Verse 4]
One day I met this girl and she was beautiful, too
I looked closely at her eyes, this nice light shade of blue
She was still in high school, I was one year remove
We both a little older from the things we been through
[Verse 5]
Pretty soon I started seein' all the things he would do
She wasn't black and blue but emotionally bruised
Made me so mad I didn't know what to do
Told her, no matter what, I'ma be there for you
[Verse 6]
But as things became more hectic and my life was 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
[Verse 7]
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 are my everything
My little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days
[Verse 8]
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, on my way
I know in my life, I made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days
[Verse 9]
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, on my way
I know in my life, I made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days
[Verse 10]
I wanna back when we were sittin' at that ice cream shop
I'm lookin' at you in your eyes and feelin' like my heart has stopped
You laughed at me for gettin' soy peanut butter
Back then I thought, shit, nah
[Verse 11]
I don't need no other person in my life and nothin' else don't even matter
Maybe I'm so numb that nothin' bad can ever happen to me
Maybe I'm so evil, I attract all these tragedies
Maybe we're so graceful, we create all these masterpieces
[Verse 12]
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
Never felt more comfortable, my face so close to you
And I'ma break it down for you
[Verse 13]
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 are my everything
My little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days
[Verse 14]
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, on my way
I know in my life, I made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days
[Verse 15]
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, on my way
I know in my life, I made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days
[Verse 16]
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 to upon are probably not great
Knowing you're in a similar position doesn't make it okay
[Verse 17]
I'm feelin' like my goal is to make these blue skies turn gray
But in the blink of an eye, 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
[Verse 18]
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, on my way
I know in my life, I made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days
[Verse 19]
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, on my way
I know in my life, I made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days
[Verse 20]
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, on my way
I know in my life, I made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on for better days, days, days
[Verse 21]
The other day I was thinkin' like
How come you never make a happy song, you know what I'm sayin'?
