[00:00.300]Hey I hear the voice of the preacher from the back room
[00:02.809]Calling my name and I follow just to find you
[00:05.578]I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather
[00:10.071]And I've trained myself to give up on the past
[00:12.474]Cause I froze in time between hearses and caskets
[00:15.635]Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
[00:18.325]I wanna get better
[00:20.154]While my friends were getting high
[00:21.773]And chasing girls down parkway lines
[00:23.837]I was losing my mind
[00:25.483]Because the love,the love,the love,the love,the love
[00:27.782]that I gave wasted on a nice face
[00:30.629]In a blaze of fear,I put a helmet on a helmet
[00:33.659]Counting seconds through a night and got carried away
[00:36.376]So now I'm standing on the overpass
[00:38.074]Screaming at the cars, hey!
[00:39.720]I wanna get better!
[00:40.973]I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face
[00:45.963]I wanna get better
[00:48.027]Better, better, better
[00:50.012]I wanna get better
[00:50.926]I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change
[00:56.072]I wanna get better
[00:58.449]Better, better, better
[00:59.860]I wanna get better
[01:00.853]I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
[01:03.517]Cut out their pictures
[01:04.717]and I chase that feeling of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
[01:08.742]Now I'm a stranger
[01:10.727]And I miss the days of a life still permanent
[01:13.627]Mourn the years before I got carried away
[01:16.918]So now I'm staring at the interstate
[01:18.538]Screaming at myself, hey!
[01:20.027]I wanna get better
[01:21.045]I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face
[01:26.400]I wanna get better
[01:28.647]Better, better, better
[01:30.476]I wanna get better
[01:31.207]I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change
[01:36.614]I wanna get better
[01:38.704]Better, better, better
[01:40.141]I wanna get better
[01:41.133]Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
[01:45.026]I'm screaming from my bedroom window
[01:47.586]Even if it's gonna kill me
[01:51.791]Woke up this morning early before my family
[01:54.012]From this dream where she was trying to show me
[01:56.781]How a life can move from the darkness
[01:59.602]She said to get better
[02:01.196]So I put a bullet where I should have put a helmet
[02:04.252]And I crash my car Cause I wanna get carried away
[02:07.413]That's why I'm standing on the overpass
[02:09.084]Screaming at myself, hey!
[02:10.626]I wanna get better!
[02:11.644]I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face
[02:17.000]I wanna get better
[02:19.168]Better, better, better
[02:20.787]I wanna get better
[02:21.728]I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change
[02:27.031]I wanna get better
[02:29.251]Better, better, better
[02:30.923]I wanna get better
