Better Than

I have been streaming The Coffeehouse radio station on Yahoo.com for the past couple months. It always seems to put me in a good mood. Anyway, today I was listening to John Butler Trio's Better Than and the words just really hit me. I looked up the lyrics, because I thought they were really powerful and wanted to post them so that everyone could read them. I also found the video on YouTube and wanted to post it (especially since most people probably aren't familiar with JBT's music). I hope you take the 3 and a half minutes to watch the video and read through the lyrics.



John Butler Trio - Better Than lyrics
Artist: John Butler Trio
Album: Grand National
Year: 2007
Title: Better Than


All you want is
What you can't have
And if ya' just look around, man
You'll see you got magic

So just sit back and relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don't look back on life, man
And only see tragedy 'cause

chorus
You can be better than that
Let it get the better of you
What could be better than that?
Life's not about what's better than

You can be better than that
Let it get the better of you
What could be better than that?
Life's not about what's better

All the time while ya' lookin' away
There are things you can do, man
There's things you can say
Undo the, the ones you regret
When you're spending today
Get your gaze out tomorrow
And come what may, because

chorus

Oh, I know, sometimes
Things can get hard
But you should know, by now
They come and they go so fast
Oh, I do, why
Look to the other side 'cause I know
The grass is greener,
But just as hard to grow

So all you want is
What you can't have
And if ya' just look around, man
You'll see you got magic

So just sit back and relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don't look back on life, man
And only see tragedy 'cause

chorus
