Better Lyrics by Townsend’s Solitaire

Live At The Royal Room

2022

[Verse 1]
I've got a devil in my dorm room
Who doesn't seem to mind the light
He's always looking out my windows
And he sure seems scared of the night
[Verse 2]
From time to time he inches closer
Only to pull back
I would love offer him my hand to hold
But he doesn't seem to want that
[Verse 3]
But I've seen him grow
I feel what he longs to know
And I don't know if he can see me
But I sure do feel alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe he doesn't see me as any better
Maybe he knows who I've been
And doesn't care to brave the weather
[Chorus]
Maybe I should hold on tighter to my friends
And try to get better
Maybe the devils and shadows
Are no more than old ties I've severed
Don't think that I wanna go home
I just don't think there's one that I know
Grown attached to being alone
But I'm not doing so fine here on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know if I will ever live to see myself
Get any better
And I still wake up every morning with you in my heart
And I check for your letters
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 4]
Got a devil in my dorm room
Having the fight of his life
We've been living in our shadows and mirrors for years
Where any light that reflects dies
[Verse 5]
Last night he finally spoke
And he said "We've gotta go home
Gotta reach out for the hands we held onto so long ago
Tell them we wanna come home"
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't know if I can lie to myself like that this time
How can I be expected to go on and let go
Of all my past lives?
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm a killer and I should turn my
Filthy eyes to myself
Maybe there's a world I can go to where no one
Checks on my health
Don't think that I wanna go home
I just don't think there's one that I know
Grown attached to being alone
But I'm not doing so fine here on my own
And I don't think I will ever live to see myself
Get any better
And until the day I die
I'll keep on writing you all of these love letters
And I don't know if I will ever see your
Bright eyes again
Or bear my scars with you in my arms or
Or know where you've been
[Saxophone Solo]
[Segue]
