better things

it's been a long, long time since i've bid low
i settled myself down now, long ago
what you do when you're around me, i can't condone
but i consider many things boy, when i'm alone

and although i love the mystery in your tone
it's only ever good for me when it's unknown

i want to fill this empty shell now and feel alive
there's nothing like the smell of astroglide

and although i love the darkness in your tone
i know it's only ever good for me, when it's unknown

i've seen better things come my way before today

i cut my teeth on greatness i'm afraid
and i pay for that mistake each and every day
will your persistence break me? i just can't say
because i've had better things come my way
