[Verse 1]
We were young kids
We made a difference
We survived those churches and hospitals
Tall tales get taller, but they'll never grow old
Yours is a flame, it never goes old
A guiding light in the storm for our sinking hearts
Yours is the summer that will never end
[Chorus]
Sleep now, it's only getting better, man
Sleep now, it's only getting better
[Verse 2]
Some day we'll all die; some people never lie
You lived the lives of a thousand men
Living from your feet, never from your knees
You are the light above, you are the air in our lungs
You are the earth beneath our feet
[Chorus]
Sleep now, it's only getting better, man
Sleep now, it's only getting better
[Bridge]
No don't fade away, don't fade away (x4)
No don't take him away, don't take him away
No don't take him away, don't take him away
[Chorus]
Sleep now, it's only getting better, man
Sleep now, it's only getting better
(No don't take him away, don't take him away)
