Make You Better Songtext
von The Decemberists

I want you, thin fingers
I wanted you, thin fingernails
And when you bend backwards
I wanted you, I needed you, ohh
To make me better

I′ll love you in springtime
I lost you when summer came
And when you pulled backwards
I wanted to, I needed to, ohh
To make me better
Ohh, to make me better

But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
And won′t it all just come around to make you
Let it all un-break you to the day you met her
But it'd make you better
It'd make you better


I sung you your twinges
I suffered you your tattle-tales
And when you broke sideways
I wanted you, I needed you, ohh
To make me better
Ohh, to make me better

But we′re not so starry-eyed anymore
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
And won′t it all just come around to make you
Let it all un-break you to the day that you met her
And it'd make you better
Did it make you better
Make you better, oh

And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine
And all I wanted was a shimmer of your shine
To make me bright

′Cause we're not so starry-eyed anymore
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
And won′t it all just come around to make you
Let it all un-break you to the day you met her
But it'd make you better
It′d make you better, oh
