Better Part of Me
You can say the better part of me
Has been lost in the tall grass
Far away from the city streets
Where I can rule as king
Make my home from the earth and
Laugh as the seasons change
Bring me out to where there's neon skies
And the wailing sirens
Could never hope to send their cries
And if you want to meet me there
We can light a fire
Let it burn through our restless fears
I’d like to say
That all of me was here today
Oh don't you know
It doesn't seem a fair trade but
That's alright
Cause without the dark
There'd be no light
Oh don't you know
It's getting brighter all the time
When every other mile of your soul
Has been locked away from
What it is that makes you whole
Then trade in all your jewels for stars
And turn the porchlight off
Cause the show is just about to start
I'd like to say
Here we are and here we'll stay
Oh don't you know
I’m longing to escape over
Hills and fields
Riverbanks and rolling wheels
Oh don't you know
That we can redefine what’s real
I’d like to say
That all of me was here today
Oh don't you know
Some things never change
Yeah but that's alright
Cause without the dark
There'd be no light
Oh don't you know
It's getting brighter all the time
You can say the better part of me
Has been lost in the tall grass
Far away from the city streets
Where I can rule as king
Make my home from the earth and
Laugh as the seasons change
Bring me out to where there's neon skies
And the wailing sirens
Could never hope to send their cries
And if you want to meet me there
We can light a fire
Let it burn through our restless fears
I’d like to say
That all of me was here today
Oh don't you know
It doesn't seem a fair trade but
That's alright
Cause without the dark
There'd be no light
Oh don't you know
It's getting brighter all the time
When every other mile of your soul
Has been locked away from
