Lyrics
How you gonna' feel good?
How you gonna' catch that high?
You've got to get a grip on yourself -
If you ever plan on being satisfied.
Still looking for that magic moment
The one you felt so long ago
Well, tell me how is this gonna' happen -
Now knowing everything that you know?!
CHORUS:
I'd like to hold your hand
Carry you to safer lands
Watching as you walk away
Heading on to Better Daze!
My daddy told me when I was younger
You've got to be strong inside
And, how those words they echo through me
How those words fill me up with pride
Still looking for that magic feeling
The one I had so long ago
But, tell me how is this gonna' happen
Now knowing everything that I know?!
CHORUS:
I'd like to hold your hand
Carry you to safer lands
Watching as you walk away
Heading on to Better Daze
SOLO
REPEAT CHORUS
Better Daze
