Never Been Better (feat. Tessa Violet) [Live] - half•alive

Step off the train I'm walking down the street again And past your door But you don't live there anymore It's years since you've been there Now you've disappeared somewhere Like outer space You've found some better place And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain Could you be dead? You always were two steps ahead Of everyone We'd walk behind while you would run I look up at your house And I can almost hear you shout Down to me Where I always used to be And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain Back on the train I ask why did I come again Can I confess I've been hanging 'round your old address? The years have proved To offer nothing since you moved You're long gone But I can't move on And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain I step off the train I'm walking down your street again And past your door I guess you don't live there anymore And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you, yeah Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you, yeah Like the deserts miss the rain I miss you

(The time's always right to fix what's wrong) Time is always right in past tense Avoiding is my newest obsession Started with the right intentions But left 'em on the shelf So tell me how to live in tension 'Cause every "Could've-been" kills when Living here has been hell And I can't hold it myself The whisper in my heart, it could never speak up The message in my chest gathered too much dust I can't afford the truth even if it's unjust Keep it top-shelf, keep it all locked up So yippee-ki-yay, it's not my blood but Every single day it calls my bluff It's not okay then it ain't quite done Then it ain't quite done, no The time's always right to fix what's wrong The time's always right to fix what's wrong Looking through a haze, I'm basing Everything around me on traces The criminal I've been chasing Is wearing my shoes Nah, the whisper in my heart, it could never speak up The message in my chest gathered too much dust I can't afford the truth even if it's unjust Keep it top-shelf, keep it all locked up So yippee-ki-yay, it's not my blood but Every single day it calls my bluff It's not okay then it ain't quite done Then it ain't quite done, no Oh, my God, it ain't quite why Hold on, it ain't quite love Hold on, it ain't quite done No, oh my God, it ain't quite why Hold on, it ain't quite love Hold on, it ain't quite done The time's always right to fix what's wrong (ooh) The time's always right to fix what's wrong (what's wrong, what's wrong) The time's always right to fix what's wrong The time's always right to fix what's wrong The time's always right to fix what's wrong

Demanding my mind be set free From wanting the things I don't need My pride is hiding its lies behind all the dreams Living inside (Woo, hey!) (Woo, hey!) Delusion is weighing me down It's taking the hope that I found And giving me nothing back Heart attack, so now I'm on my Tip toes trying to see past my ego Reaching for something more than this feeling Of being important Leaving my heart behind is bleeding But still my pride is screaming My future will listen to me Listen to me, listen to me Will I always know this divide? Living most of this war inside Take this ghost of me with the tide to die And release my heart to come alive (Hey, hey!) The feeling is creeping in slow It's feeding my need to be known And giving me nothing back Heart attack, so now I'm on my (Hey, woo) Heart attack, so now I'm on my (Hey, woo) Heart attack, so now I'm on my Tip toes trying to see past my ego Reaching for something more than this feeling Of being important Leaving my heart behind is bleeding But still my pride is screaming My future will listen to me Listen to me, listen to me Will I always know this divide? Living most of this war inside Take this ghost of me with the tide to die And release my heart to come alive Will I always know this divide? Living most of this war inside Take this ghost of me with the tide to die And release my heart to come alive (Hey!) (Woo, hey!) (Woo, hey!) (Woo, hey, hey, hey!) I'm on my tip toes trying to see past my ego Reaching for something more than this feeling Of being important Leaving my heart behind is bleeding But still my pride is screaming My future will listen to me, listen to me I'm on my tip toes trying to see past my ego Reaching for something more than this feeling Of being important Leaving my heart behind is bleeding But still my pride is screaming My future will listen to me, listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me (Hey, hey, hey, hey!)
