Better Whenever

Who put these lines across my face?

I thought i meant it when I said I'd age with grace

Laid out my years across your floor

My legs are tired I'm not running anymore

When I get down I need you here

Cause there's a demon, there's a desert, there's a fear

When I lay down to sleep alone

I am extinguished, I am expired, I am old

But I'll get better whenever

So grab your bike, a car, a train, or plane

And just get back to me

Or I can drive or pay for flights

Meet me anywhere tonight

I'll bring beers or books or songs

I'll sing and you could sing along

Or sit and smoke or laugh or cry

Pull the hair back from your eyes

Have another drink with me

We'll toast to our obscurity

You'll lean in and I'll calm down

I'll hemorrhage my neuroses out

If you would let me stick around

I'll follow you all the way down

And I'll tell you like you never knew

How good it feels to breath and speak

And hear and see and live and love with you

I'll get better whenever
