I Wanna Get Better - Live from Spotify NYC
Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
I trace the faith to a broken down television, and put on the weather
And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
I froze time between hearses and caskets
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
I wanna get better
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines
I was losing my mind 'cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
That I gave wasted on a nice face
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself
"Hey, I wanna get"
Didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
Didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
Of an 18-year-old who didn't know what loss was
Now I'm a stranger
And I miss the days of a life still permanent
Mourn the years before I got carried away
That's why I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself
"Hey, I wanna get"
Didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
Even if it's gonna kill me
Woke up this morning early before my family
From this dream where she was trying to show me
How a life can move from the darkness
She said to get better
And so I, I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet
And I crash my car 'cause I wanna get carried away
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself
"Hey, I wanna get"
Didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
Didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
Thank you guys so much for having us
