[00:00.00]I Wanna Get Better - Bleachers
[00:09.73]Hey I hear the voice
[00:11.09]Of the preacher from the back room
[00:12.92]Calling my name and
[00:13.86]I follow just to find you
[00:15.36]I trace the faith
[00:16.00]To a broken down television
[00:18.19]And put on the weather
[00:19.77]
[00:19.85]And I've trained myself
[00:21.03]To give up on the past
[00:22.38]Cause I froze in time
[00:23.60]Between hearses and caskets
[00:25.34]Lost control when I
[00:26.48]Panicked at the acid test
[00:28.06]I wanna get better
[00:29.81]
[00:29.92]While my friends were getting high
[00:31.30]And chasing girls down parkway lines
[00:33.64]I was losing my mind
[00:34.98]Because the love
[00:35.63]The love, the love
[00:36.61]The love, the love
[00:37.62]that I gave
[00:38.54]Wasted on a nice face
[00:40.79]In a blaze of fear
[00:41.73]I put a helmet on a helmet
[00:43.43]Counting seconds through a night
[00:44.71]And got carried away
[00:46.42]So now I'm standing on the overpass
[00:48.05]Screaming at the cars, hey
[00:49.37]
[00:49.75]I wanna get better
[00:50.78]I didn't know I was lonely
[00:53.62]Til I saw your face
[00:55.65]I wanna get better
[00:57.89]Better, better, better
[00:59.59]I wanna get better
[01:00.73]I didn't know I was broken
[01:03.73]Til I wanted to change
[01:05.85]I wanna get better
[01:07.96]Better, better, better
[01:09.86]I wanna get better
[01:10.48]
[01:10.91]I go up to my room
[01:11.81]And there's girls on the ceiling
[01:13.48]Cut out their pictures
[01:14.22]And I chase that feeling
[01:15.72]Of an eighteen year old
[01:16.92]Who didn't know
[01:17.60]What loss was
[01:18.86]Now I'm a stranger
[01:20.00]
[01:20.63]And I miss the days
[01:21.69]Of a life still permanent
[01:23.61]Mourn the years
[01:24.31]Before I got carried away
[01:26.64]So now I'm staring at the interstate
[01:28.24]Screaming at myself, hey
[01:29.79]
[01:30.00]I wanna get better
[01:31.12]I didn't know I was lonely
[01:34.04]Til I saw your face
[01:36.12]I wanna get better
[01:38.08]Better, better, better
[01:40.12]I wanna get better
[01:41.21]I didn't know I was broken
[01:44.12]Til I wanted to change
[01:46.12]I wanna get better
[01:48.43]Better, better, better
[01:50.07]I wanna get better
[01:51.96]Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
[01:54.67]I'm screaming from my bedroom window
[01:57.24]Even if it's gonna kill me
[01:59.91]
[02:31.71]Woke up this morning
[02:32.59]Early before my family
[02:34.20]From this dream
[02:35.26]Where she was trying to show me
[02:36.94]How a life
[02:37.64]Can move from the darkness
[02:39.43]She said to get better
[02:40.92]
[02:41.26]So I put a bullet
[02:42.60]Where I should have put a helmet
[02:44.15]And I crash my car
[02:45.06]Cause I wanna get carried away
[02:47.49]That's why I'm standing on the overpass
[02:49.13]Screaming at myself, hey
[02:50.23]
[02:50.54]I wanna get better
[02:51.85]I didn't know I was lonely
[02:54.77]Til I saw your face
[02:56.96]I wanna get better
[02:59.09]Better, better, better
[03:00.79]I wanna get better
[03:02.00]I didn't know I was broken
[03:05.06]Til I wanted to change
[03:07.15]I wanna get better
[03:09.31]Better, better, better
[03:11.00]I wanna get better
