lyrics

BETTER ALL THE TIME

I wrote a letter full of feelings and I sent it to me
folded into an envelope addressed to you
A magic spell of healing
thrown into the sea
just to make sure its aim was true

So if you don't mind dancing with a one-legged man
to a song drifting in and out of time
And if you're ok sitting 'round a fire that won't light
having deep conversations with a mime
It's getting better all the time

My old friend Complication paid a visit to me
I gather he's been spending some time with you, too
Bearing gifts of obligation I could not foresee
and when he left he said 'see you soon'

But if you don't mind driving down an unlabeled road
to a place you may never actually find
And if you're ok sitting at the top of the slide
if the view there is all part of the ride
It's getting better all the time

So if you don't mind silence (heaven's only reply)
And if meaning is just what we supply
And if you'd care to share a spell of meaning with me
well sit down, have another glass of wine
It's getting better all the time
