Better (Live at the Espy) Lyrics by ​The Basics

Lookin’ Over My Shoulder [EP]

2007

[Intro]
(Thank you)
(Hello)
(There used to be three of us, now there's four)
(This is Dave up here, for those of you that don't know him)
(Obviously, some people do)
(Let's do it)
(This is a song called "Better")
(Two, three, three)
[Verse 1]
I know we can't mend it, I know
But if we pretend it isn't there, would it still show?
Well, time's not allotted in equal amounts to me and you
So we can't hear each other, but there's something we can do
[Chorus]
We can weep together
Feel our need togethеr
But if we try to heal each othеr
That don't mean that we won't hurt
But if we weep together
We might feel better
[Verse 2]
People will tell you you should move on
But how can you live again until your pain is gone?
And too many times, you've heard that time will heal all wounds
No one's prepared to say just how soon
[Chorus]
While we're here together
Bring some tears together
But if we tried beside each other
That don't mean that we won't hurt
But if we weep together
We might feel better
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
(Hey-hey-hey-hey)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Yeah-yeah)
(Yeah, time, time, time)
(Ooh, ooh)
[Outro]
(To the left)
(Thank you)
(One thing)
(C'mon, kiddo)
