(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
Yeah, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
Callin' my name and I follow just to find you
I trace the faith to a broken-down television
And put on the weather
And I'm trainin' myself to give up on the past
'Cause I froze in time between hearses and caskets
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
I wanna get better
While my friends were gettin' high and chasin' guys down parkway lines
I was losing my mind
'Cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love that I gave
Wasted on a nice face
In a blaze of fear, I put a helmet on a helmet
Countin' seconds through the night and got carried away
So now I'm standin' on the overpass
(Screamin' at the cars, "Hey, I wanna get better")
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get better
I go up to my room where there's guys on the ceiling
I cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
Of an 18-year-old who didn't know what loss was
Now I'm a stranger
And I miss the days of a life still permanent
Mourn the years before I got carried away
So now I'm standin' on the overpass
(Screamin' at the cars, "Hey, I wanna get better")
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get better
'Cause I'm sleepin' in the back of a taxi
I'm screamin' out my bedroom window
Even if it's gonna kill me, oh
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
I woke up early this morning before my family
From this dream where she was tryin' to show me
How a life can move from the darkness
She said to get better
So I put a bullet where I should've put a helmet
And I crashed my car 'cause I wanna get carried away
So now I'm standin' on the overpass
(Screamin' at the cars, "Hey, I wanna get better")
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get
