Bleachers Follow

Hey I hear the voice
Of the preacher from the back room
Calling my name and
I follow just to find youI trace the faith
To a broken down television
And put on the weatherAnd I've trained myself
To give up on the past
Cause I froze in time
Between hearses and casketsLost control when I
Panicked at the acid test
I wanna get betterWhile my friends were getting high
And chasing girls down parkway lines
I was losing my mindBecause the love
The love, the love
The love, the love
The love, that I gave
Wasted on a nice faceIn a blaze of fear
I put a helmet on a helmet
Counting seconds through a night
And got carried awaySo now I'm standing on the overpass
Screaming at the cars, hey
I wanna get betterI didn't know I was lonely
Til I saw your face
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get betterI didn't know I was broken
Til I wanted to change
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get betterI go up to my room
And there's girls on the ceiling
Cut out their pictures
And I chase that feelingOf an eighteen year old
Who didn't know
What loss was
Now I'm a strangerAnd I miss the days
Of a life still permanent
Mourn the years
Before I got carried awaySo now I'm staring at the interstate
Screaming at myself, hey
I wanna get betterI didn't know I was lonely
Til I saw your face
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get betterI didn't know I was broken
Til I wanted to change
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get betterCause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
Even if it's gonna kill meWoke up this morning
Early before my family
From this dream
Where she was trying to show meHow a life
Can move from the darkness
She said to get betterSo I put a bullet
Where I should have put a helmet
And I crash my car
Cause I wanna get carried awayThat's why I'm standing on the overpass
Screaming at myself, hey
I wanna get betterI didn't know I was lonely
Til I saw your face
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get betterI didn't know I was broken
Til I wanted to change
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get better
