Lyrics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

it’s better than before
she says she wants more
he gives all he can
but she says she can’t stand him anymore<\/p>

she bets on her life
that he will never understand her right
as broken hearts fall on the floor
even though this time he was better than before<\/p>

he has to try hard
to be someone she won’t give up on
he threw down his best card
and he prayed but it let him down<\/p>

too bad there’s a thing called time
when hand’s broke and the other hand’s tied
time passes by faster than planned
improve your actions while you can<\/p>

I’ve got an average life
same problems and same kinds
and if you want to go universal
then you’ve got to go personal<\/p>

too bad there’s a thing called time<\/strong>
when hand’s broke and the other hand’s tied<\/strong>
improve your actions while you can<\/strong>
time passes by faster than planned<\/strong><\/p>Lyrics by Brad Johnson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Song Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

– Better Than Before<\/em> was the last song on Is This For Real<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– It’s not 100% clear but if memory serves, this song was written about a high school love interest for Brad that never went anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– After the end of Better Than Before<\/em>, a second instrumental composition follows. This ‘song’ is titled No Dope<\/em> and was a rather loud and aggressive composition that band had written prior to recording the album. No Dope<\/em> begins around the six and a half minute mark of the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
