lyrics

I couldn’t wait to run away
‘cause I was smothered by despair
I hated every single day when I was there.
But here life is for the taking,
there’s a world of difference, nothing seems the same,
so here, things are looking better
and I know that I will never run again.
I was a bookish kind of sad,
immersed in words that didn’t show
that I was really, really, really mad three years ago.
But now I can feel some sense returning,
there’s a trick to this and I’m learning how to change,
so now, things are looking better,
though I know that they will never be the same.
Because it’s better,
things are better through and through,
So much better,
things are better through and through.
Here and now but with whom?
She said we must be married soon
and put your savings to good use,
well I was nothing if not amused
when I was with her
but you have helped me to forget,
I know it’s clichéd but now nothing seems the same.
And you have changed things for the better
now I know that I will never run away from
here and now with you
because here and now with you it’s cool.
