Toh Kay – A Better Place, A Better Time lyrics
[Verse 1]
And so she wakes up
In time to break down
She left a note up on the dresser
And she's right on time
You don't know anything
Right or wrong
I said I know-oh-oh-oh
And she said so-oh-oh-oh
I wanna panic
Yeah, I've had it, I go-oh-oh-oh
You don't owe anything to anyone
But don't take your life
'Cause it's all that you've got
You'd be better off just up and leaving
If you don't think they will stop

[Chorus]
And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
In a better time
So you're tired of living
Feel like you might give in
Well don't
It's not your time

[Verse 2]
Looking through the paper today
Looking for a specific page
Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
Because when I left her alone
She made a sound, like a moan
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
Fuck buying flowers for graves
I'd rather buy you a one-way non-stop
To anywhere, find anyone, do anything
Forget and start again, love
She said she won't go
It hurts too much to stand by
You've got to stop and draw a line
Everyone here has to choose a side tonight
The moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family
Regardless what you choose to do
You can't decide
And they're all screaming "why won't you?"
I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath, I'll load your gun
I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt

[Bridge 1]
Annie's tired of forgetting about today
And always planning for tomorrow, yeah, tomorrow
And she said, "The saddest day I came across was
When I learned that life goes on without me" oh, without me
And she said, "If everyone has someone else
Then I ain't got nobody's love to save me" yeah, to save me
And she said "I think I'll pass away tonight
It seems I'll never get it right if it's just me" yeah, it's just me
And she said

[Chorus]
And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
In a better time
So you're tired of living
You feel like you might give in
Well don't
It's not your time

[Bridge 2]
Annie said she wouldn't mind
If they never find a cure to all her problems, her problems
And she said, as long as she had someone near to make it clear
She doesn't need to solve them, yeah, to solve them
And she said, "This loneliness, it's killing me
It's filling me with anger and resentment" yeah, resentment
And she said, "I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again"

[Chorus]
And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
And in a better time
So you're tired of living
You feel like you might give in
Well don't
It's not your time

[Coda]
And even if it was so
Oh I wouldn't let you go
You could run run run run but I would follow close
Someday you will say "that's it, that's all"
But I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
But know that I'm here
And I'll lead you home
If you let me
She said "forget me"
But I can't
