[Verse 1]
Broken and hopeless, barely getting by
That's who I told myself I was that night
Then an angel in blue jeans pulled up a seat next to mine
Ordered my drink, tequila, no lime
[Pre-Chorus]
How'd we get from "How are you?" to kissing in a corner booth
To my love and my best friend, to being who you say I am?
[Chorus]
Let me stay with you, stay with you all of my days
And I'll be leaving this world in a better place
I just wanna lay with you, lay with you, that's all it takes
And I'll be leaving this world in a better place, a better place
[Verse 2]
Got so used to lonely, had to drag myself out
Told all my friends I'll only last an hour
I saw a halo above you in the neon light
That empty chair beside you had to be a sign
[Pre-Chorus]
How'd we get from "How are you?" to kissing in a corner booth
To "I never want this night to end" to putting this ring on my hand?
[Chorus]
Let me stay with you, stay with you all of my days
And I'll be leaving this world in a better place
I just wanna lay with you, lay with you, that's all it takes
And I'll be leaving this world in a better place, a better place
[Outro]
Let me stay with you, stay with you all of my days
I'll be leaving this world in a better place, a better place
The Shires released Better Place on Fri Mar 13 2020.
We wrote that one up in Maine with Kara DioGuardi and our good friend Jeff Cohen. We wrote in her lake house. It was the most beautiful setting. We all sat down and talked about our relationships and what our other halves meant to us at that time. And ‘Better Place’ just came out of that.
