I wanna get better — Bleachers
LYRICS
Hey, I hear the voice of the 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
Because I froze in time
Between hearses and caskets
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
I want to get better
While my friends were getting high
And chasing girls down parkway lines
I was losing my mind
Because 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
So now I'm standing on the overpass
Screaming at the cars
Hey, I want to get better
I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face
I want to get better, better...
I want to get better
I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change
I want to get better, better...
I want to 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 eighteen 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
So now I'm staring at the interstate
Screaming at myself
Hey, I want to get better
I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face
I want to get better, better...
I want to get better
I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change
I want to get better, better...
I want to get better
Because I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
Even if it's going to 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
So I put a bullet where I should've put a helmet
And I crashed my car because I want to get carried away
That's why I'm standing on the overpass
Screaming at myself
Hey, I want to get better
I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face
I want to get better, better...
I want to get better
I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change
I want to get better, better...
I want to get better
