the better me

pushing the shame off my back, telling the soul walk tall and don't lose track, tipping it out of my shoes, it's weighing me down, it's weighing me down, leaving the side of my house, looking to find a friend, then leave again, cutting the wires within, so i'll follow you now, where do i begin?, ooh, the better me is you, i don't mind, ooh, the better me is you, and i know why, quick, they're locking the gates, we were going nowhere anyway, i'm stepping with the sky, but i can't get close, i just circle wide, what you mean to me, i only whisper, whisper to the trees, you make space out of my side, you can only try, you can only try, ooh, the better me is you, i don't mind, ooh, the better me is you, and i know why, there's nothing behind us, that says i didn't try, whoa-oh-oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, i have to live, i have to live, i have to live with me
