Lyrics for Better Version Of Me
The nickel dropped when I was on My way beyond the rubicon What did I do? And the games that I could handle None are ones worth the candle What can I do? I'm a frightened, fickle person Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin' What should I do? Oooh, 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 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? Oooh, 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 and complain again So I will keep a deliberate pace Let the damn breeze dry my face Oh mister wait until you see What I plan to be I've got a plan to demand and it just began And if you're right, you'll agree Here's coming a better version of me Here's coming a better version of me Here it comes a better version of me
