I Wanna Get Better (Cover)
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 frozen 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 guys down parkway lines
I was losing my mind cause 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!"
[Chorus]
I didn't know I was lonely
'Til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken
'Til I wanted to change
Get get get get, I wanna get get get get get, I wanna get
I go up to my room and there's guys 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 on the overpass (screaming at the cars)
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[Chorus]
I didn't know I was lonely
'Til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken
'Til I wanted to change
Get get get get, I wanna get get get get get, I wanna get
Better
Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
I'm screaming out my bedroom window
Even if its gonna kill me, oh
I woke up early this morning 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 standing on the overpass (screaming at the cars)
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[Chorus]
I didn't know I was lonely
'Til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken
'Til I wanted to change
Get get get get, I wanna get get get get get, I wanna get
