Better Now (Live) Lyrics

It's been a while

Since I've heard the windchimes ringing by your door

It's been a while

Since I've felt your footsteps poundin' 'cross the floor

I've never wanted it more

And as the doorknob turns and the hinges squeak

I remember you never did lock the door on me

Then I see your face and no time takes place

'Fore you cross the threshold and catch me

In your embrace

My saving grace... because

I've been fighting this feeling of aching inside for so long

I didn't even notice

How many times I've said that "I'll be okay"

Without knowing when

Or if it was hopeless

But you are here

And so, somehow

I'm doing better now

It's been a while

Since I held you close without caring about the time

It's been a while

Since those storied days of innocence in nursery rhymes

It's been an uphill climb

And as you take my hand

And take me inside

I take back a piece of the child I left behind

And I'm born again

Just to see you smile

When you say "Sit down, love"

It's been a while. "Yeah"

It's been a while

I've been fighting this feeling of aching inside for so long

I didn't even notice

How many times I've said that "I'll be okay"

Without knowing when

Or if it was hopeless

But you are here

And so, somehow

I'm doing better now

Yeah, I've been stuck at rock bottom

With a shovel and despair

I've hit that wall so hard so many times

I forgot that it was there

Then I thought of the daydreams

And the long laughs

And the places we would go

Before the lights went... out

Guess you never know "with" 'til you're without

I've been fighting this feeling of aching inside for so long

I didn't even notice

How many times I've said that "I'll be okay"

Without knowing when

Or if it was hopeless

But you are here

And so, somehow

Since you are here

I can finally say out loud

I'm doing better now

I'm doing better now

Better now
