Lyrics
Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room Calling my name and I follow just to find you Trace the faith to a broken down television And I put on the weather 'Cause I trained myself to give up on the past, yeah 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 'cause the love, love, love, love 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 I am standing on the overpass screaming at myself Hey, I wanna get better Didn't know I was lonely until I saw your face But I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better Didn't know I was broken until I wanted to change But I wanna get better, better, better, better I want- To my room where there's girls on the ceiling Cut out the 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'll miss the days of a life still permanent And mourn the years before I got carried away That's why I'm standing by the interstate screaming at the cars Hey, I wanna get better I didn't know I was lonely until I saw your face But I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken until i wanted to change But I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better 'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi Yeah, I'm screaming out my bedroom window Like, even if it's gonna kill me Hey, I 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 says to get better So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet And 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 better Didn't know I was lonely until I saw your face But I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken until I wanted to change But I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better
