| [00:00.300] |
Hey I hear the voice of the preacher from the back room |
| [00:02.809] |
Calling my name and I follow just to find you |
| [00:05.578] |
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather |
| [00:10.071] |
And I've trained myself to give up on the past |
| [00:12.474] |
Cause I froze in time between hearses and caskets |
| [00:15.635] |
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test |
| [00:18.325] |
I wanna get better |
| [00:20.154] |
While my friends were getting high |
| [00:21.773] |
And chasing girls down parkway lines |
| [00:23.837] |
I was losing my mind |
| [00:25.483] |
Because the love,the love,the love,the love,the love |
| [00:27.782] |
that I gave wasted on a nice face |
| [00:30.629] |
In a blaze of fear,I put a helmet on a helmet |
| [00:33.659] |
Counting seconds through a night and got carried away |
| [00:36.376] |
So now I'm standing on the overpass |
| [00:38.074] |
Screaming at the cars, hey! |
| [00:39.720] |
I wanna get better! |
| [00:40.973] |
I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face |
| [00:45.963] |
I wanna get better |
| [00:48.027] |
Better, better, better |
| [00:50.012] |
I wanna get better |
| [00:50.926] |
I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change |
| [00:56.072] |
I wanna get better |
| [00:58.449] |
Better, better, better |
| [00:59.860] |
I wanna get better |
| [01:00.853] |
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling |
| [01:03.517] |
Cut out their pictures |
| [01:04.717] |
and I chase that feeling of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was |
| [01:08.742] |
Now I'm a stranger |
| [01:10.727] |
And I miss the days of a life still permanent |
| [01:13.627] |
Mourn the years before I got carried away |
| [01:16.918] |
So now I'm staring at the interstate |
| [01:18.538] |
Screaming at myself, hey! |
| [01:20.027] |
I wanna get better |
| [01:21.045] |
I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face |
| [01:26.400] |
I wanna get better |
| [01:28.647] |
Better, better, better |
| [01:30.476] |
I wanna get better |
| [01:31.207] |
I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change |
| [01:36.614] |
I wanna get better |
| [01:38.704] |
Better, better, better |
| [01:40.141] |
I wanna get better |
| [01:41.133] |
Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi |
| [01:45.026] |
I'm screaming from my bedroom window |
| [01:47.586] |
Even if it's gonna kill me |
| [01:51.791] |
Woke up this morning early before my family |
| [01:54.012] |
From this dream where she was trying to show me |
| [01:56.781] |
How a life can move from the darkness |
| [01:59.602] |
She said to get better |
| [02:01.196] |
So I put a bullet where I should have put a helmet |
| [02:04.252] |
And I crash my car Cause I wanna get carried away |
| [02:07.413] |
That's why I'm standing on the overpass |
| [02:09.084] |
Screaming at myself, hey! |
| [02:10.626] |
I wanna get better! |
| [02:11.644] |
I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face |
| [02:17.000] |
I wanna get better |
| [02:19.168] |
Better, better, better |
| [02:20.787] |
I wanna get better |
| [02:21.728] |
I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change |
| [02:27.031] |
I wanna get better |
| [02:29.251] |
Better, better, better |
| [02:30.923] |
I wanna get better |
| [02:33.923] |
