A Better Place, A Better Time - Streetlight Manifesto cover

i love this song, kinda put my own spin on it as far as the strumming and stuff. hope you enjoy, lemme know what you think. lyrics:

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"
and she said "so"
I wanna panic but I've had it so I go
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

And when you wake up
everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you'll 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

Looking through the paper today
looking for a specific page
Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
'cause 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 and I'll load your gun
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt

Annie's tired of forgetting about today
and always planning for tomorrow, tomorrow
and she says, "The saddest day I came across was
when I learned that life goes on without me", without me
and she says, "If everyone has someone else,
then I ain't got nobody's love to save me", save me
and she says "I think I'll pass away tonight,
'it seems I just can't get it right, it's just me, it's just reality"

And when you wake up
everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you'll 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

Annie says she wouldn't mind
if they never find a cure for all her problems, her problems
and she says, as long as she has someone near to make it clear
she does not need to solve them, solve them
and she says, "oh this loneliness is killing me,
it's filling me with anger and resentment", resentment
and she says, "I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again"

And when you wake up
everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you'll 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

And even if it was, oh I wouldn't let you go
you could run, run, run, run but I will follow close
Someday you'll say "that's it, that's all"
but I'll be waiting there when no one else will break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
but just know that I'm here and I'll lead you home
if you let me
She said "forget me"
but I can't.

There are times when you can tell when someone is thoroughly enjoying a song...and to me your face (even if it's just the lower half) at 3:32 onwards seems to best convey that awesome feeling you always get when playing and/or listening to this song.
