Life Gets Better - Stevie Wright

There's paper peeling off the walls I see the paint from yesteryear We try to cover up the past But tiny secrets still appear So please don't say it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time The kitchen floor's a checkered board We've tried to end this game for years The tiles are cracked, the colour's changed The battleground is all but cleared So please don't say it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time Caught in the cobwebs Memories linger in these rooms Under the floorboards Sweeping the stories we outgrew It's not a place to call home Just a place we've been for years The garden weeds have overgrown We've overstayed our welcome here So please don't say it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time It gets better, it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time

What have we done? Oh my God! What have we done? Oh my God! This is really happenin' You never looked so bored Can you feel my fingernails? They've never been so short It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better I can taste your summer sweat It's never been so warm So can we kick the covers off? They're always on, it's never been so warm It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile If you could see the look that's in your eyes Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better There's a fire in sky, some snow on the ground Not quite enough cigarettes to calm me down What are we doing? Oh my god! What are we doing? Oh my god! It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better (This is really happening) It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better (This is really happening)

My mind's been stuck in the in-between Been tryna find an answer for the last three weeks I can't go back I can't go back I've always been a dreamer on a crazy ride But it feels like I been waiting at the end of the line I can't go back I can't go back Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know Who I used to be and where I wanna go Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know Ooh, woo, ooh, woo Oh, I can't believe it only gets better And better, and better Every single day of my life Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh, woo Oh, I can't believe it only gets better And better, and better Every single day of my life Through all of the change I made I won't go chasing the good old days 'Cause ooh, woo, ooh, woo (just wait) It only gets better It only gets better I took a leap of faith just to find my way It might not be tomorrow, might not be today I can't go back I can't go back Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know Who I used to be and where I wanna go Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know Woo, ooh, ooh, woo Oh, I can't believe it only gets better And better, and better Every single day of my life Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh, woo Oh, I can't believe it only gets better And better, and better Every single day of my life Through all of the change I've made I won't go chasing the good old days 'Cause ooh, woo, ooh, woo (just wait) It only gets better It only gets better Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know Who I used to be and where I wanna go Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know Who I used to be and where I wanna go Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know (c'mon) Woo, ooh, ooh, woo Oh, I can't believe it only gets better And better, and better Every single day of my life Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh, woo Oh, I can't believe it only gets better And better, and better Every single day of my life Through all of the change I've made I won't go chasing the good old days 'Cause ooh, woo, ooh, woo (just wait) It only gets better It only gets better It only gets better
