Peter Rogers - I've Been Better Lyrics

What words can work when you're under pressure? and
What tongue can speak that my mind cannot utter? and
What will I be mute to and what might I mutter?
Don't you ever wonder? and Don't you ever think? and
Don't you ever wish just what could have been?
Or whatever?
But what can I say? Hey, I've been better
This Sunday's got me homesick but yet I've been home since last week
You reminded me of myself and of what might come to be
But I cannot judge because he's just like me, a forgery
Don't you ever wonder? and Don't you ever think? and
Don't you ever wish just what could have been?
Or something other?
But what can I say? Hey, I've been better
To see you here in person couldn't be worse than not at all
I'd love to write a letter but you know no one does that as much, am I wrong?
Wishing we could see each other and wasn't a young man's brother, gained or lost
Don't you ever wonder? and Don't you ever think? and
Don't you ever wish just what could have been?
And nothing lesser?
But what can I say? Hey, I've been better
Let's go back to the old days where we could make each other laugh
Older now, but in our twenties, how long was that supposed to last?
Not much to look forward to except for looking up or looking back
Don't you ever wonder? and Don't you ever think? and
Don't you ever wish just what could have been?
Or maybe never?
But what can I say? Hey, I've been better
What words can work when you're under pressure? and
What tongue can speak that my mind cannot utter? and
What will I be mute to and what might I mutter?
Don't you ever wonder? and Don't you ever think? and
Don't you ever wish just what could have been?
Or whatever?
But what can I say? Hey, I've been better
