better places - tracklist & lyrics

1. C
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me
They’re in the wrong place trying to make it right

2. C
Her eyes full of hope
Her voice full of mourning
And her lips as red
As a shepherds warning

She said, “I would die for you
“I would die for you”
And it all came true

3. C
It’s deep water, driving rain
And all I can remember is a cold
Another burned out lover who was begging to leave
She said “why wouldn't you tie your soul to me?”

4. C
Soft and low,
Shallow and slow
Is my heart still mourning?
I'm only a man
Trying to stand
Tried my best at living

5. C
This ship's gone and run its course
Through a tired lack of force
And all that matters branded on your arm
So you don't forget how we first met

6. C
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
and let the world spin madly on

7. C
And how my thoughts they spin me 'round
And how my thoughts they let me down
And then there's you.

8. C
Every time I see your face, the bells ring in a far-off place
We can find each other this way I believe
From the hills and up behind, my town
is naked from the horizon down

9. C
Hold my head inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I've waited all these years.
For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.

10. R
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

11. C
Where courage was contagious, confidence was key.
Right as rain, soft as snow,
It grows and grows and grows,
Our home sweet home.

12. C
What can I give that is all for you?
These arms are all I have
But I'll hold you like I do love you.

13. C
Tomorrow's a new day,
And yesterday's tales far away,
All will be alright,
So sleep and just leave it all behind.

And all you have to do is call,
And I'll come running to your side,
I'll take the weight of your world from off your shoulders, girl.

Nothing can get you, you know I've got you, you're in my arms.
Nothing can get me, I know you've got me. I'm in your arms.
