about
Better Than was written by Jon Solo who sent it to Dawn to collaborate on some lyrics. I decided to throw way back on this, to my child hood days. Picking wildflowers, wildfires nearby, collecting cans for rent, playing at the park un supervised. So much of that I'd love to go back to, and yet...
lyrics
Tell me, what could be, better than
Tell me, what could be, better than this
The woods were large, 1984, back when we could wander unsupervised
Train whistles, candy store, snarky little boy, singin' 50 states, that rhyme we hate.
Run and Play, Run and Play
Tell me, what could be, better than
I wish I could go back and get off at the side
White and purple yellow orange, stringin' 'long the highway
I wish I could push pause and be in mid flight
ultimate relief, ultimate defeat
One mind, one place, one line
Wildfire, Wildflower
Before the day grows short, we're sneakin' off the porch
and by the creek we linger to watch, twisting and turning
As it Runs and Plays, Run and Play
Run and Play, as it Runs and Plays
Tell me, what could be, better than this, better than
