by: Miles FisherWill tomorrow be better
When yesterday things got worse?
Just when I'm moving forward
You go and put me in reverse
And just because we were
That don't mean that we are meant to be
No, but who cares what tomorrow brings
If it can't make sense of you and me?
But I've got you
And I can't imagine any day without you
It makes me wanna shout
And I'm singin'
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hold on, don't let go
Don't open your eyes just yet
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hold on, don't let go
It's not time to wake up yet
It's too late
To cut you out
You're in my blood
You're gonna spread
Your smell, your taste
Your laugh
Stuck in my heart
And trapped in my head
But now I've got you
And I can't imagine any day without you
It makes me wanna shout
And I'm singin'
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hold on, don't let go
It's not time to wake up yet
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hold on, don't let go
Don't open your eyes just yet
If I could wake up
How I dreamt
I wouldn't feel
So tired
Your eyes
That laugh and cry
Can't seem the
Eyes of liars
But that don't mean
I love you less
And that don't mean
I want you more than right now
Baby, right now
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hold on, don't let go
It's not time to wake up--
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hold on, don't let go
Don't open your eyes just yet
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hold on, don't let go
It's not time to wake up yet
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hold on, don't let go
Don't open your eyes just yet
