Better Than You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I look at you, then you me
Hungry and thirsty I wait
Holding the lion's share
Holding the key
Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be
Better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)
Lock homes I push, and I strive
Somehow I feel more alive
Bury the deep forest
Bury the sea
Bury me deep when there's no will to be
Better than you (better than you)
Oh Better than you (better than you)
Oh, can't stop this train from rolling
Oh, yo, nothing brings me down
No, can't stop this train from rolling on and on, on
No, no, forever on and on
Oh, can't stop this train from rolling
Oh, yo, you can't take it down
No, never stop this locomotion on and on and on
No, no, you can't bring me down 'cause I'm
Better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)
Oh better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)
Much better than you
Better than you (better than you)
Oh better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)
Better than
Better than
Better than
Better than you
Yeah
Can't stop this train from rolling
Forever on and on and on and on and on
Forever on and on and on
Better than you
Yeah
Haha
Better than you
