BETTER BELIEVE IN ME
I been sleeping light lately, my eyes are dancin ‘round
Try’n to trouble too much water, I just keep losing ground
Joy been like a lost loved one, a memory hard to heal
Holding onto dreams too tight, I let go everything that’s real
I ain’t asking favors, no one owes me nothing, hey nothing is free
But I can’t take a step baby, ‘til somebody believes in me
House a little too empty, just big enough to hide
The chicks have finally flown, your on your own, now the clock just ticks the time
Time just seems to move slower, since we had it to ourselves
Guess its time we search, sort, share, all that stuff that’s on the shelf
It’s a new beginning, it’s a scary feeling, will we still agree
You can have your doubts baby, but you better believe in me
I been listening hard lately, shouting deep inside
Waiting on that lost echo, come back saying it’s alright
Dropping thoughtful pebbles in my well, trying to stir a passion pool
Ear upon my chest, no reply, Man I just stand here like a fool
I ain’t no hard luck story, I never want for nothing, there’s fruit on my tree
But I can’t take a bite baby, ‘til somebody believes in me
