This one came in a co-write with Stephen Ellrod and Drew Southland (Trove), and it actually started in a really natural way–spitting gibberish into the air with a melody attached, and the words, “It gets better, I promise,” came out. I guess everyone in the room was feeling the same because the rest...
I got bags under my eyes
Cause I don’t sleep at night
I got an anxious mind
It took my appetite
Yeah, it’s eating me up like a Sunday lunch
And I dress it all up like a half full cup
But I got bags on my eyes
Cause I don’t sleep at night
But they say
It’ll be ok
And it gets better -- I promise
Honest, you got this
So, if you ever feel lost then
Know the world’s not flawless
And I’m no prophet
But it gets better -- I promise
I got people watching me
Everywhere I go
Like I'm on display for all to see
Like I’m an animal, am I irrational?
Yeah it’s eating mе up, like a Sunday lunch
And I dress it all up, like a half full cup, yеah
And they say, they say
It'll be ok
And it gets better -- I promise
Honest you got this
So, if you ever feel lost then
Know the world’s not flawless
And I’m no prophet
Yeah, it gets better -- I promise
Honest, you got this
So when you’re at your darkest
Know the world’s not flawless
And I’m no prophet
But it gets better -- I promise
La, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
Yeah, it gets better -- I promise
Honest you got this
So, if you ever feel lost then
Know the world’s not flawless
And I’m no prophet Yeah, it gets better -- I promise
