"Better" lyrics

I remember the first time that I made you cry
To this day, my heart bleeds when I think of that night
Cause up until then, I felt like the man of your dreams
Then I said the most selfish, insensitive things

With tears in your eyes and your eyes on the road
You learned forward and turned down the radio
Then you showed me a grace like I'd never seen
You reached out your hand and you held on to me

And after all these years
It's you and me together
It's not as good as I thought
It's better

I remember the first time you asked me to dance
Terrified, but my two left feet jumped at the chance
That's just like you to make sure I give it a try
Dare to fail on the off chance that maybe I'll fly

And after all these years
It's you and me together
It's not as good as we thought
It's better
It's better
It's better
It's better

I remember the week before we got engaged
Took my six string to get it repaired at Ed's place
15 years on the road, but you know what I've found
The longer you play it, the sweeter it sounds
