I want you, thin fingers I wanted you, thin fingernails And when you bend backwards I wanted you, I needed you Oh-oh, to make me better
I'll love you in springtime I lost you when summer came And when you pulled backwards I wanted to, I needed to Oh-oh, to make me better Oh-oh, to make me better
But we're not so starry-eyed anymore Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters And won't it all just come around to make you Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her But it'd make you better It'd make you better
I sung you your twinges I suffered you your tattletales And when you broke sideways I wanted you, I needed you Oh-oh, to make me better Oh-oh, to make me better
But we're not so starry-eyed anymore Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters And won't it all just come around and make you Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her And it'd make you better Did it make you better?
But we're not so starry-eyed anymore Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters And won't it all just come around to make you Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her But it'd make you better It'd make you better
And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine And all I wanted was a shimmer in your shine To make me bright
Cause we're not so starry-eyed anymore Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters And won't it all just come around and make you Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her But it'd make you better It'd make you better
