I Could Love You Better

I’ve been so tired
Do you know why?
Could you read my mind?
The truth’s been hard to chew
That if it’s not you
Then our end is soon
I know that if ever I fall
They’ll never mean as much as you
I’d talk but the words feel too tall
And I’ve never felt that much in me
I could love you better, better
No, I would love you better, better
With time, will it pass me by?
Just a glint in the eye
A tale shared like wine
Is it true
That to love you bruise?
And that’s what you choose
How does that feel good?
I know that if ever I fall
They’ll never mean as much as you
I’d talk but the words feel too tall
And I’ve never had that much in me
I know that if ever I fall
They’ll never mean as much as you
I’d talk but the words feel too tall
Guess I've never seen that much in me
I know that if ever I fall
They’ll never mean as much as you
I’d talk but the words feel too tall
And I’ve never felt that much in me
I could love you better, better
No, I would love you better

Your eyes look as fragile as a thread
Was it something I said?
It’s just you’ve never said less
And I’ve been looking distantly ahead
Was it something I said?
I guess I’ve never said less
I could’ve been there
I should’ve been there
I could’ve been…
Better with my time
And further in my life
A better daughter
And a better friend, sometimes
It’s all I feel when the room becomes too bright
Metallic taste on my tongue with every bite
Better with my drive
And kinder in your eyes
A better daughter and a better friend, sometimes
You’re all I hear when the room becomes too quiet
Metallic taste on your tongue from climbing heights
I should’ve been there
I could’ve been there
I should’ve been there
I could’ve been…
I switched off and lost my fight
We’re left with growing pains of rite
And I still think about that night
Too young to feel the weight of life
I should’ve been there
I could’ve been there
I should’ve been there
I could’ve been...
I could've been there
I should've been there

Take Your Time

I heard a man on the radio
It felt like something you would’ve said
About how the government’s still lying to us
And we’ll be working til we’re dead
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But I’ve never meant it more
It’s bittersweet
But you can take your time, my friend
T-T-T-Time
I saw a face reflected in the window
For a second, it was you
Your sister said you’re fine
You’re just inside all the time
You should know, you still have nothing to prove
There’s a tale that I read when I was young
About how the people you love leave when their lessons are done
Was it time for you to go?
Do I just grow on my own?
Stay still in the store
Like a kid, just waiting for your tannoy call
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But I’ve never meant it more
It’s bittersweet
But you can take your time, my friend
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But I’ve never meant it more
It’s bittersweet
But you can take your time, my friend
Go ahead and take your time, my friend
Go ahead and take your time, my friend
Maybe with time, we’ll get there again

I went and moved up North
And our song stopped playing on the radio
Bittersweet, kick in the teeth, kind of way to go
Teenage tales written in late night texts
And washed out polaroids
Could it be that I’m getting older?
It’s just too fast to make my mind up
Can we stay here for just a moment?
I’ll meet you there when I feel bold enough
If I feel bold enough
There’s tales of yours I’ll never hear
I guess comfort comes with being near
And I know I’m passive to my fears
But doesn’t fight just end in tears?
Will I still feel this when I’m older?
Or dust the doubt off of my shoulders?
It’s funny how you have the space to grow
But I left myself at home
Could it be that I’m getting older?
It’s just too fast to make my mind up
Can we stay here for just a moment?
I’ll meet you there when I feel bold enough
If I feel bold enough
The home that felt our kicks and scrapes
Pure love and shame
Tears, thrill and rage
The friends you’ve loved
Gone separate ways
From a street, to a train, to a thought away
Bright eyes, your name, I'm lost on the way
To write a life worth living,
Or just a page
Could it be that I’m getting older?
It’s just too fast to make my mind up
Can we stay here for just a moment?
I’ll meet you there when I feel bold enough
If I feel bold enough

What If?

Sun-kissed river drips a beacon of light
I’ll bathe in its heat
Walk into the bright
From the cold
It’s just like I was told
Look down at my hands
Feel the heat
Know they’re mine
Thoughts visit for a while
But they leave in due time
Now I know
Life out the undertow
But if I knew myself better then it could’ve been love
And if I worked a little harder then I wouldn’t need luck
But is it ever worth the if?
The if...
Who knew feeling like a person could be this easy?
22 with a gift for making it all seem wrong
Where did I ever go wrong?
I met myself for the first time here
Not much in common but I came with landing gear
Oh, lock my body up here...
But if I knew myself better then it could’ve been love
And if I worked a little harder then I wouldn’t need luck
But is it ever worth the if?
The if...
The if!
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste
But you can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste
But you can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste
But I can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste
But I can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste
But I can make a mistake
