Love You Better

Bought the stamps, bought the envelope, found your postcode
Put it down, licked the back, flipped the seal closed
I write to you all the time in my head
Try to pick up the pieces we left
Now it's the paper I can't help but ripping up to shreds

Nine a.m., white knight, caught the mail van
Second thoughts, can't send, get a breakdown
I tell you 'bout the time that we met
How you would make me laugh, make me wet
Now it's the paper I can't help but wetting down instead

I would love you better like that
Would love you better like
I would love you better like that
Would love you better

I would love you better like that
Would love you better like
I would love you better like that
Would love you better

(Would love you better)

(Would love you better)

With the ifs and the buts, we can stay close
As if ink on a card's gonna save us
I've written over fifteen P.S
It's funny how I've been so speechless
When you really would have needed to be reading this

I would love you better like that
Would love you better like
I would love you better like that
Would love you better

I would love you better like that
Would love you better like
I would love you better like that
Would love you better

(Would love you better)

(Would love you better)

Thought I would forget all about your love
Truth is I never can get enough
I couldn't let go, 'cause your echo's on my mind

Thought we would be better off here instead
Livin' off memories on paper shreds
No, I can't let go, 'cause your echo's on my mind (yeah)

(Would love you better)

(Would love you better)

I would love you better like that
Would love you better like
I would love you better like that
Would love you better
