It Gets Better

(album: Keep Me Safe - 2020)

Bring the sun, the tattoo gun
My body is a canvas, I want to mark my skin
It is paper thin
Scribble fragile on my temple

I'll be your house when your roof starts leaking
Or when you're sat in my kitchen
Crying your eyes out
I'll make you a hot chocolate to warm your hands up

It gets better in such small doses
Curb every neurosis, you'll barely notice
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me (Everybody now)

Dye your hair in the bathtub
Let the bleach drip over the side
I thought you were ride or die but I left at 2am
To catch the first flight away from you (Don't touch me)

We'll bring new years in from the emergency room
And I promised your mother we'd take care of you
And we won't say a word, we won't know what to do
But we brought you some biscuits and lemonade too

It gets better in such small doses
Curb every neurosis, you'll barely notice
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me

Aizaz gave it up to be a poet (We're all just one and the same)
Mikey got his uni degree (Just mistakes with different names)
Linden's gonna write the next great novel
And I'm here slipshod in front of the tv

It gets better in such small doses
Curb every neurosis, you'll barely notice
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me

It gets better in such small doses
Curb every neurosis, you'll barely notice
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me (One more time)

It gets better (It gets better)
It gets better (It gets better)
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me
