"Better Version Of Me" lyrics
"Better Version Of Me"
The nickel dropped when I was on
My way beyond the Rubicon
What did I do?
And of the games that I can handle
None are ones worth the candle
What should I do?
I'm a frightened, fickle person
Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'
What should I do?
Ooh, after all the folderol
And hauling over coals stops
What will I do?
Can't take a good day without a bad one
Don't feel just to smile until I've had one
Where did I learn?
I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where's the turn?
I don't want a home, I'd ruin that
Home is where my habits have a habitat
Why give it a turn?
Ooh, after all the folderol
And hauling over coals stops
What did I learn?
I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry or complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damned breeze dry my face
Ooh mister wait until you see
What I'm gonna be
I've got a plan, a demand and it just began
And if you're right, you'll agree
Here's coming a better version of me
Here it comes, a better version of me
Here it comes, a better version of me

Kimya Dawson - "I Like Giants" When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road, turn out the lights, get out, and look up at the sky

And put it on a mountain top

Aren't you going to fight?

Alanis Morissette - "Right Through You" Wait a minute, man
You mispronounced my name
You didn't wait for all the information
Before you turned me away
Wait a minute, sir

You see me as a sweet back-loaded...
