Better Things

Verse 1
It’s not enough to keep me young
Just dumb enough to keep me numb
Wish on a star, I wish for the stars
Dunno where you are, dunno why you’re so far

Pre-Chorus
For some reason I can’t take my own advice
Play with fire, roll the dice
Could be the way you hold my hand
Forget that you’ve been my man

Chorus
Baby, shady feeling lately
Am I crazy for thinkin’ maybe?
My mama said don’t chase an idol
I need the ending, not the title

I’m not grown, not not alone
I’ll find a soul to call my own home
Wedding rings or better things
The skies know what tomorrow brings
Change your mind, change my name
Love me, love me not, petals all the same

Verse 2
Is it from my father
Or is it from his daughter
Needing you to be honest
Telling me what you wanted
Tell me if you want it

Days keep passing certain ways
Yesterday just all feels fake

Bridge
Entitled hearts rival bibles and idols
That seem to lean too and pull me in
To the deepest blue hue

Could you love me if I told the truth?
Would you stay if you already knew?

Chorus
Baby, shady feeling lately
Am I crazy for thinkin’ maybe?
My mama said don’t chase an idol
I need the ending, not the title

I’m not grown, but so alone
Can’t find a soul to call my own home
Wedding rings or better things
God knows what tomorrow brings
Change your mind, change my name
Love me, love me not, it’s all the same

Verse 3 / Outro
When arrival feels like survival
I’m still here stuck in denial
Was it just an illusion
Don’t let it be true

Coulda been us but now it’s just you
And I’m not in the mood

I’m not grown, not not alone
I’ll find a soul to call my own home
Wedding rings or better things
The skies know what tomorrow brings
Change your mind, change my name
Love me, love me not, petals all the same
