Better Days (I Came By Train) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woke up thinkin' 'bout you all this morning
Said it's funny, you were doin' the same
'Cause every time we talk it's like I'm falling back in love with you all over again
Arms wide open and your heart is waitin'
And you just wantin' me to do the same
So, can you hold on just a little longer?
I'll be on my way

[Pre-Chorus]
If we put the work in, we put the time in
We put our heart into everything
We can weather the storm and make it our mission
Even if the whole world ain't listenin'
The thought of losing you, oh, I can't imagine
I don't wanna losе this chance to make it alright

[Chorus]
'Cause wе all want those better days, better days, better days
Hoping for those better days, better days, better days
The time is now for better days, better days, better days
It's just the little things we know can make a beautiful change
That's why I'm happy that I came by train

[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
[Verse 2]
Feel like you're cryin' when the rain is fallin'
But now it's time to wipe those tears away
I know you're tired of all the pain we're causin'
But I know we can make a meaningful change
I know we'll lose you if we keep avoidin'
But let me tell you, help is on the way
So, can you hold on just a little longer?
There'll be no delays, no

[Pre-Chorus]
If we put the work in, we put the time in
We put our heart into everything
But whenever you're hurtin', you don't deserve it
It feels like the whole world ain't listenin'
The thought of losing you, oh, I can't imagine (I can't imagine)
I don't wanna lose this chance to make it alright

[Chorus]
'Cause we all want those better days, better days, better days
Hoping for those better days, better days, better days
The time is now for better days, better days, better days
It's just the little things we know can make a beautiful change
That's why I'm happy that I came by train

[Bridge]
Together, we can create a meaningful change (Slowly, let's rewind it)
We have so much to lose and everything to gain (Oh, yeah)
A better planet for our future generations
You're so beautiful (You're so beautiful) and I don't wanna lose it all (And I don't wanna lose it all)
[Chorus]
'Cause with you, it's always better, better days, better days
Hoping for those better days, better days, better days
The time is now for better days, better days, better days, yeah
It's just the little things we know can make a beautiful change (Better)
That's why I'm happy that I came by train

[Outro]
See you shining in the sun
Rainbows after all the rain has gone
So amazing to me, yeah, you're my number one
Gonna show you that's the difference
No more waiting, know we could do a little better
It don't have to be like this forever
It's just the little things we know can make a beautiful change
That's why I'm happy that I came by train
