I Wanna Get Better - Bleachers
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 in 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 because
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
So now I'm standing
on the overpass screaming at the cars
Hey I wanna get better
I didn't know I was lonely
'til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken
'til I wanted to change
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 wanna get better
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken
'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better
'Cause I'm sleeping
in the back of a taxi
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
Even if its 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
So I put a bullet
where I shoulda put a helmet
And I crash my car
cause I wanna get carried away
So now I'm staring
at the interstate screaming at myself
Hey I wanna get better
I didn't know I was lonely
'til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken
'til I wanted to change
