Better

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
Here I am at the top again
Dreaming that you let me in
Talk me down, talk me down
Talk me down
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
'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
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
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
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
'Cause I thought it’d be you and me
Circling infinity
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
