Getting Better

by Gleaner

1.
Sunnyvale
lyrics
I've been learning what goodbye means And how it's not such a bad thing And that some day someone will love me as much as I love them But even though that's not today I can keep on forward anyway On the back of the hope and the promise That that day might be tomorrow Tomorrow
2.
I Wish
lyrics
There's a worn spot on the floor Where my time is mostly spent I'm slacking like a goddamn champ Just game shows and watering the plants How many "hi how how are you"s can I rattle off for $10? I'm sure a lot, but check back in an hour I'm on break until 3 I'm not adult enough Even though I really need to be Everything's getting harder I think it's time for me to grow up I think it's time to grow up Thrift store skirts and big hair bows I just want to look cute as hell But so far it's not going very well Nobody's gonna leave me alone Oversize plaid button downs And a cloud of good cologne A tad bit of stifled conversation This really isn't me I'm not quite man enough Even though I'm supposed to be If that makes me a girl, then I guess I am I wish I just wouldn't care I just wish I wouldn't care
3.
Different
lyrics
You're always quiet every time we're together And I know that's probably my fault But consider this: I don't love you any less I just hope I'm not fucking up by the numbers Oh no I'll come get you, let's go driving And see and do the same four things we always have Far too anxious, far too bored I don't know which Either way, I'm having a good time nonetheless Another night well wasted on discussing weather and our shit jobs There's no more sun, but all the same same-olds and has-beens daytime sowed Just hold my hand, look at the sky I know you know this'll never be different I guess that's just how we are Odd friends, broke minds, and unlike hearts We're falling apart
4.
Loose Ends
lyrics
It seems like every couple months I'm due for a drunk text or two Explaining why every single thing I do Or move I make away from you Is rooted in my own selfishness? I guess that's what it really comes down to When you look at it through your eyes There's nothing left for me to do but leave I don't know what to do With every sentence that you say to me Letting go used to be so easy for you But I don't know what changed
5.
Rental Bike
lyrics
The year came on like boulders Crushing my unsteady shoulders And I'm falling, I'm losing, I'm failing Perhaps eventually I'll come to terms with the hand I'm dealt But April's just as bad as November And I'm just as nervous as hell Tell me I'm enough and that I matter here Because there's nothing left to hold me Unless you say the words Remembering was the easy part It's just hard for me to forget a lot Talk is cheap, but it's all I can afford right now And action scares me to death anyhow Is this all there is, all there can be? Because dear, this isn't living; this can't be living Tell me I'm enough and that I matter here Because there's nothing left to hold me Unless you say the words Remembering's the easy part It's just hard for me to forget a lot I hope one day you understand Exactly what you mean to me But I doubt that'll happen So I'm going north in search of greener grasses And oh good god I really hope I find them
