Better Than Yesterday
I'm not going to yell at the kids today
And I'm gonna stay sober next time we play
Then maybe I'll remember how the songs go
I won't medicate with anything stronger than tea
I'll only hang around with people who are worthy of me
And next year I'm gonna learn how to say no
Can't help but think that if I had nine lives
The pressure would be off
And I could be everything I want
But as it is, I'm busy sorting through the past
Don't want to be perfect
Just want to be better than yesterday
Is that too much to ask
I'll stay in the moment, hear everything that you say
And respond in the most compassionate way
Never once will I look at my phone
I'll spend money on only what I need
I'll be nice to myself when I don't succeed
And I won't take shit from anyone
Can't help but think that if I had nine lives
The pressure would be off
And I could be everything I want
And one of those times I'll get it right
But as it is, I'm busy sorting through the past
Don't want to be perfect
Just want to be better than yesterday
Is that too much to ask
I just want to give more than I take
I want to finish what I start
I want to love it all with all my body and my heart
I just want to be hot until I die
Just want to inspire all these billions with the brilliance of my mind
I wanna be bruised by God
I wanna be singled out strung up in a strong light
Cleaned out from the inside
Isn't this what I came to do
Isn't this what it means to try
But I know this ego's never gonna be satisfied
Can't help but think that if I had nine lives
The pressure would be off
And I could be everything I want
And one of those times I'll get it right
But as it is, I'm busy sorting through the past
Don't want to be perfect
Just want to be better than yesterday
Is that too much to ask
And I'm gonna stay sober next time we play
Then maybe I'll remember how the songs go
I won't medicate with anything stronger than tea
I'll only hang around with people who are worthy of me
And next year I'm gonna learn how to say no
Can't help but think that if I had nine lives
The pressure would be off
And I could be everything I want
But as it is, I'm busy sorting through the past
Don't want to be perfect
Just want to be better than yesterday
Is that too much to ask
I'll stay in the moment, hear everything that you say
And respond in the most compassionate way
Never once will I look at my phone
I'll spend money on only what I need
I'll be nice to myself when I don't succeed
And I won't take shit from anyone
Can't help but think that if I had nine lives
The pressure would be off
And I could be everything I want
And one of those times I'll get it right
But as it is, I'm busy sorting through the past
Don't want to be perfect
Just want to be better than yesterday
Is that too much to ask
I just want to give more than I take
I want to finish what I start
I want to love it all with all my body and my heart
I just want to be hot until I die
Just want to inspire all these billions with the brilliance of my mind
I wanna be bruised by God
I wanna be singled out strung up in a strong light
Cleaned out from the inside
Isn't this what I came to do
Isn't this what it means to try
But I know this ego's never gonna be satisfied
Can't help but think that if I had nine lives
The pressure would be off
And I could be everything I want
And one of those times I'll get it right
But as it is, I'm busy sorting through the past
Don't want to be perfect
Just want to be better than yesterday
Is that too much to ask
