Better Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm still in the pool you left me in
And I thought it'd be cool to be melted down
To be water on the ground
You could walk on or swim through

[Pre-Chorus]
Here I am at the top again
Dreaming that you let me in
Talk me down, talk me down
Talk me down

[Chorus]
We leave our marks on things that will never be ours
The streets are scarred, the trees are carved
With names that glow like
Diamond rings on one knee in a nice restaurant
I'm better now, those dreams are gone

[Verse 2]
'Cause I thought it'd be you and me
Hovering 'round everything I knew we'd be
If autumn flowers could just hold out 'til spring
And shake off the snowfall, whoa-oh-oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Here I am at the top again
Desperate for oxygen
Talk me down, talk me down
Here I am at a loss again Starving for oxytocin
Talk me down, talk me down

[Chorus]
We leave our marks on things that will never be ours
The streets are scarred, the trees are carved
With names that glow like
Diamond rings on one knee in a nice restaurant
I'm better now, those dreams are gone

[Bridge]
Fading faster in the picture you took of us, just the two of us
There's no future in this phantom limb I've sewn to us
And there's a little spot where I let you in
Now it's a vacant lot where your name never washes off

[Refrain]
'Cause I thought it'd be you and me
Circling infinity

[Chorus]
We leave our marks on things that will never be ours
The streets are scarred, the trees are carved
With names that glow like
Diamond rings on one knee in a nice restaurant
I'm better now, those dreams are gone
