I Wanna Get Better (Live At Radio City Music Hall) - Bleachers

Lyrics by：Jack Antonoff/John Hill

Composed by：Jack Antonoff/John Hill

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

Now I've trained myself to give up on the past

'Cause I froze in 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 girls 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

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face

I wanna get better better better better

I wanna get better

I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change

I wanna get better better better better

I wanna get better

Up to my room where there's girls on the ceiling

I 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

That's why I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself hey I wanna get better

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face

I wanna get better better better better

I wanna get better

I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change

I wanna get better better better better

I wanna get better

'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi

I'm screaming from my bedroom window

Even if it's gonna kill me

Woke up this morning early 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 should have put a helmet

And I crashed my car 'cause I wanna get carried away

That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself hey I wanna get better

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face

I wanna get better better better better

I wanna get better

I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change

I wanna get better better better better

I wanna get better
