Better Than That

I'm trying so hard not to love him too fast

Line up all the horses and race 'round the track

Run laps around reality and never look back

Want a real, hard love that's better than that

I'm trying so hard not to bury myself

Beneath the dirt and the flowers of somebody else

Yeah, beauty is blinding and darkness runs deep

Wanna hold on to him and still hold on to me

Cocaine, whiskey rye

They don't even compare to how love makes me high

So I won't push my luck

I'll sober up

I won't feed off of it 'til it dies

I'm trying so hard to stay right where I am

I drive my mind in reverse the speed up ahead

Break down on a road that just leaves me for dead

Want the piece of the present to steer me instead

Cocaine, whiskey rye

They don't even compare to how love makes me high

So I won't push my luck

I'll sober up

I won't feed off of it 'til it dies

Yeah, I've got a history, I know you do too

What the hell would we be without what we've been through?

And I don't give a damn about the mud on your boots

I just want you

Cocaine, whiskey rye

They don't even compare to how love makes me high

So I won't push my luck

I'll sober up

I won't feed off of it 'til it dies

'Til it dies
