Make You Better

I want you, thin fingers I wanted you, thin fingernails And when you bend backwards I wanted you, I needed you, ohh 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, ohh To make me better Ohh, 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 un-break 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 tattle-tales And when you broke sideways I wanted you, I needed you, ohh To make me better Ohh, 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 un-break you to the day that you met her And it'd make you better Did it make you better Make you better, oh And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine And all I wanted was a shimmer of 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 to make you Let it all un-break you to the day you met her But it'd make you better It'd make you better, oh
