Better Now

(album: What Is There - 2020)

You have a gift of signs, interlock your hand in mine
You always know I'm angry for a reason
Your touch helps me settle down, we break it apart when we turn it around
With you on my side
I can see it in a new light

Don't wanna hear about the superficial bullet points
Shoot from the hip and give me something more than highlights
Focus in on every little lovely mannerism
(Better now that we're together)
Every precious gift I give to you down on my knees
Empathy is not a necklace bought at Tiffany's
I love you deeper than I ever thought I could believe
(Better now that we're together)

Modern love's a mystery like children come with simplicity
I know you, you know me, we know it's right
My waking dream came true, the moment wrapped in deja vu
With you by my side
I can see it in a new light

Don't wanna hear about the superficial bullet points
Shoot from the hip and give me something more than highlights
Focus in on every little lovely mannerism
(Better now that we're together)
Every precious gift I give to you down on my knees
Empathy is not a necklace bought at Tiffany's
I love you deeper than I ever thought I could believe
(Better now that we're together)

I'm folding into you crying
You folded into me
Darling, I said
"I've had enough of lonely life
And I wanna be the rock I promised to be"
You're reaching down to me
And I'm praying unto thee, yeah

Don't wanna hear about the superficial bullet points
Shoot from the hip and give me something more than highlights
Focus in on every little lovely mannerism
(Better now that we're together)
Every precious gift I give to you down on my knees
Empathy is not a necklace bought at Tiffany's
I love you deeper than I ever thought I could believe
(Better now that we're together)
