Better Now

(album: Further Joy - 2022)

Live and die
I live and let die
I guess might try
Pretty pink in my eyes
I'm shy
Playing I spy
And I'll watch you while you seize your day

The same mistakes that I always used to make
I'd treat 'em better now
I'd like to treat 'em better now

Am I not endearing
When I can't move? Staring blank at your shoes
It's thick like butter
The wave that takes me underwater
I'll heal myself for the hope of someone else
I'd treat 'em better now
I'd like to treat me better now

Even if I could form the words in my head
I wouldn't know how to share them for the better
And when will I start to break the walls I built in far too well
I miss the time when my heart was in my center

I grew soft 'cause I intimidate
It's what I'm used to doing when I meet you
I'm sweet, playing hide and seek
'Cause I'm scared to show you what's not real

I remember when I'd walk into the house
I'd be the first in line
And I didn't give a fuck about place or time

Even if I could form the words in my head
I wouldn't know how to share them for the better
And when will I start to break the walls I built in far too well
I miss the time when my heart was in my center

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Even if I could form the words in my head
I wouldn't know how to share them for the better
And when will I start to break the walls I built in far too well
I miss the time when my heart was in my center

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Oh, I miss the time when my heart was in my center
