Better Version Of Me lyrics

[Verse 1]

The nickel dropped when I was on

My way beyond the rubicon

What did I do?

And of the games that I can handle

None are ones worth the candle

What should I do?

I'm a frightened, fickle person

Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'

What should I do?

[Chorus]

Oooh, after all the folderol

And hauling over coals stops

What will I do?

[Verse 2]

Can't take a good day without a bad one

Don't feel just to smile until I've had one

Where did I learn?

I make a fuss about a little thing

The rhyme is losing to the riddling

Where's the turn?

I don't want a home, I'd ruin that

Home is where my habits have a habitat

Why give it a turn?

[Chorus]

Oooh, after all the folderol

And hauling over coals stops

What did I learn?

[Bridge]

I am likely to miss the main event

If I stop to cry or complain again

So I will keep a deliberate pace

Let the damned breeze dry my face

[Breakdown]

Ooooh mister wait until you see

What I'm gonna be

[Verse 3]

I've got a plan, a demand and it just began

And if you're right, you'll agree

Here's coming a better version of me

[Outro]

Here it comes, a better version of me

Here it comes, a better version of me
