Now it's water not jokes that go over my head.
There's an ocean in my lungs coming up again.
Finish the pillbox by Tuesday, lay it by the bed,
So the ache in my liver numbs the ache in my head.
She said she can't kiss it better this time,
But if I've got her to fight for i'm gonna try.
I'll get better soon, I'll get better soon.
I'll get better soon, someday, better for you.
And I'm sorry that you're treading water with me,
This body's inviting but god is it deep.
I look to you smiling with tears down you're cheeks.
You said "Darling, don't be sorry for anything."
I'm getting older but my mind still feels so young.
My friends are doing the things you do at twenty-one.
Growing up sure ain't easy, but you're all that I wanna be.
I am not lost I am finding and I'm home when you're next to me.
I'll get better soon, I'll get better soon.
I'll get better soon, someday, better for you.
And I'm sorry that you're treading water with me,
This body's inviting but god is it deep.
I look to you smiling with tears down you're cheeks.
You said 'Darling, don't be sorry for anything.'
This won't hurt tomorrow,
This way of life isn't all that you'll ever know.
This won't hurt tomorrow,
You'll lay your head on my chest and it won't sound so hollow.
I'll get better soon, I'll get better soon.
I'll get better soon, someday, better for you.
