Better Way Lyrics by Tom Chaplin

The Wave

2016

[Verse 1]
Bound and gagged
I've never felt this sad
Stuck pushing through the rain
Two left feet
Bitter in defeat
No longer playing in the game

I drag my bones
Back down that same old road
To try and take away the pain
I'm on a one-way track
With no way to get back
There has to be a better way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Love's surplanted
I'm so disenchanted
And a tired heart is heavy work
I know I oughtta
Try to turn the corner
Try to get myself out of reverse

[Chorus]
I'll find a better way
I'll find a brighter day
I'm moving on
So when tomorrow comes
Before my race is run
I'm moving on

[Post-Chorus]
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
I'll be alright

[Verse 2]
Coming home
The way is overgrown
I wanna lay my weary head
I see a golden glow
In some far-off window
I'm pushing harder every sec

I wanna put to bed
Those empty promises
No longer selling more for less
I've got a master plan
To be a better man
It's got to be a better bet

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Turning corners
I'll be crossing borders
I'll be carried forward on the tide
Heart connected
Body resurrected
I'll be running, rolling in the wild

[Chorus]
I'll find a better way
I'll find a brighter day
I'm moving on
So when tomorrow comes
Before my race is run
I'm moving on

[Post-Chorus]
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
I'll be alright

[Outro]
I'll find a better way
I'll find a brighter day
I'm moving on
I'll find a better way
I'll find a brighter day
I'm moving on

I'm moving on
Better way
Brighter day
Moving on
Moving on

(There has to be a better way)
Better way
Brighter day
(I'm moving on)
Moving on
Moving on

(There has to be a better way)
Better way
Brighter day
(There has to be a better way)
Moving on
Moving on
