Better

Scream it

Never thought I would make it this far,
Seems like time’s been running fast.
Retrospection’s my disease of choice:
My whole life’s in the past.

For seventeen years I spun without a say,
But I’ve finally made up my mind today.

You’ve led me to who I’ll be,
Can you see?
It ain’t easy being stuck between
What I need and what I want
And how my parents’ voices haunt
My head at night in the dark.

For seventeen years I spun without a say,
But I’ve finally made up my mind today.

You’re the only one I’ll ever desire.
Your voice sets my heart on fire.
I heard you say someone better would sweep me off my feet
But I don’t want better, sugar.

I want you.

These honest words, though you might protest,
Have been burning me up, something I detest.
But I just can’t remain at this unrest.
My voice needs to be heard.

Oh, is it love? Maybe not,
But it’s all that I’ve got.
String my guitar up for me, baby,
We’ve got music to make.

For seventeen years I spun without a say,
But I’ve finally made up my mind today.

You’re the only one I’ll ever desire.
Your smile sets my soul on fire.
I heard you say someone better would sweep me off my feet
But I don’t want better, sugar.

I want you.
