Better Days Lyrics
The darkness has always been
The world was born into a blanket of sin
When all the faith's been gone
till we've found a reason to carry on
Through the worry, worry, worry
Caught in an endless maze
When the lights go out
All that I can think about
Is how we've seen
Better days
Lover, lately I've been thinking I might leave you
As you're surrounded by these fools who do deceive you
Yes, our past is wretched, true
But I'm still in love with you
And thats why I am still refusting to give into
All this worry, worry, worry
Caught in an endless maze
When the lights go out
All that I can think about
Is how we've seen
Better days
Where do we go from here
Now we're all consumed by fear
I'm trying not to be suspicious
To those I'm suspicious of
I'm trying to crack open this angry heart
And find a little love
Instead of worry, worry, worry
Caught in an endless maze
When the lights go out
All that I can think about
Is how we've seen
Better days
Yeah when the lights go out
All that I can dream about
Is how we've seen
Better days
The world was born into a blanket of sin
When all the faith's been gone
till we've found a reason to carry on
Caught in an endless maze
When the lights go out
All that I can think about
Is how we've seen
Better days
As you're surrounded by these fools who do deceive you
Yes, our past is wretched, true
But I'm still in love with you
And thats why I am still refusting to give into
Caught in an endless maze
When the lights go out
All that I can think about
Is how we've seen
Better days
Now we're all consumed by fear
I'm trying not to be suspicious
To those I'm suspicious of
I'm trying to crack open this angry heart
And find a little love
Caught in an endless maze
When the lights go out
All that I can think about
Is how we've seen
Better days
All that I can dream about
Is how we've seen
Better days

Yes on the surface the song appears to be a song about self discovery on a man's journey through love relations. But an experience listener knows that Better Days actually chronicals the relationship between Jim and Tammy Faye Baker in their hey day. The ups and downs, the depression and the soulful commitment despite the changes in physical appearance and corrupted, inner countenances, mistakes made requiring deception, depraved cravings toward unlawful activities, unrestrained drives for power and greed, vibrate through every chord.
Tammy Faye filed for divorce from prison, but before the papers where signed, their turmultuous love affair, held our hearts aghast as they weathered every storm.
The song is a duet of Jim and Tammy singing their truth.
"When the lights go out, all I can think about is how we've seen better days." Neither Tammy or Jim could ever really let the lights go out - because the thought of better days was too much weight. Tammy televised the last days of her life, while Jim currently televises the end of days.
The depths of Tammy & Jim's discomfort threatens them throughout the ministerial couple's relationship. The songwriter parades his ability to observe the world, conjure the past and impact the future in 3 verses. A credit to his tradition, Lee reminds us where we've been and unveils the unspoken and unseen.
Crack open this angry heart and find a little love. What an amazing songwriter.
This is song about a couple who has been married a long time. Contemplating cheating and finding solid reasons to back it up.
Married life looks pretty grim in verse 1.
The darkness has always been, The world was born into a blanket of sin, When all the faith's been gone, Still we found a reason to carry on,
In the 1st chorus, married life has a lot of worry, and they are "caught" trapped going round and round - no fun. At bedtime they think about the couple they were when they were younger, and they can carry on.
Yes on the surface the song appears to be a song about self discovery on a man's journey through love relations. But with experience, a listener begins to hear the song between the words. The ups and downs, the depression and the soulful commitment despite the changes in physical appearance and corrupted, inner countenances, mistakes made requiring deception, depraved cravings toward unlawful activities, unrestrained drives for power and greed
