Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been down, I've been down
Burning up like fever
Better days, better days
Are not so far away
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna waste a minute
But if I gotta waste a minute
I'd spend the time tryna get my vibe on track
And if I'm on a star, don't wanna spin it
My life's up in flames, and I lit it
I wonder if I'll ever get that good shit back
[Verse 3]
And I'll keep praying I make it
Like someone worth saving
I still got some fight left inside me
[Verse 4]
I've been down, I've been down
Burning up like fever
Better days, better days
Are not so far away
I've been lost, I've been found
Now I believe in
Better days, better days
Are not so far away, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, better days, better days
Are not so far away, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, better days, better days
Are not so far away
[Verse 5]
Guess I didn't break it, but I bent it
I know I didn't say it, but I meant it
I shoulda had a little more heart and soul
Oh-oh, fuck the rearview mirror
Our future looks a little bit clearer
I'm turning every second into solid gold
[Verse 6]
And I'll keep praying I make it
Like someone worth saving
I still got some fight left inside me
[Verse 7]
I've been down, I've been down
Burning up like fever
Better days, better days
Are not so far away
I've been lost, I've been found
Now I believe in
Better days, better days
Are not so far away, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, better days, better days
Are not so far away, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, better days, better days
Are not so far away
[Verse 8]
Away, so far
Ay-ay-ay
And I'll keep praying I'll make it
Like someone worth saving
I still got some fight left inside me
[Verse 9]
I've been down, I've been down
Burning up like fever
Better days, better days
Are not so far away
I've been lost, I've been found
Now I believe in
Better days, better days
Are not so far away, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, better days, better days
Are not so far away, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, better days, better days
Are not so far away
