Hey I hear the voice
Of the preacher from the back room
Calling my name and
I follow just to find you
I trace the faith
To a broken down television
And put on the weather
And I've trained myself
To give up on the past
Cause I froze in time
Between hearses and caskets
Lost control when I
Panicked at the acid test
I wanna get better
While my friends were getting high
And chasing girls down parkway lines
I was losing my mind
Because the love
The love, the love
The love, the love
The love, that I gave
Wasted on a nice face
In a blaze of fear
I put a helmet on a helmet
Counting seconds through a night
And got carried away
So now I'm standing on the overpass
Screaming at the cars, hey
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was lonely
Til I saw your face
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken
Til I wanted to change
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get better
I go up to my room
And there's girls on the ceiling
Cut out their pictures
And I chase that feeling
Of an eighteen year old
Who didn't know
What loss was
Now I'm a stranger
And I miss the days
Of a life still permanent
Mourn the years
Before I got carried away
So now I'm staring at the interstate
Screaming at myself, hey
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was lonely
Til I saw your face
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken
Til I wanted to change
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get better
Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
Even if it's gonna kill me
Woke up this morning
Early before my family
From this dream
Where she was trying to show me
How a life
Can move from the darkness
She said to get better
So I put a bullet
Where I should have put a helmet
And I crash my car
Cause I wanna get carried away
That's why I'm standing on the overpass
Screaming at myself, hey
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was lonely
Til I saw your face
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken
Til I wanted to change
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get better
The lyrics I WANNA GET BETTER of BLEACHERS is also present in the album Strange desire (2014)
Bleachers è il progetto musicale indie pop del cantautore statunitense Jack Antonoff, originario di New York. Nato nel 2014, Bleachers ha visto la luce dopo una lunga carriera di Antonoff come produttore discografico e musicista per altri artisti. Prima di dedicarsi a Bleachers, Antonoff era noto per essere stato membro dei Fun., gruppo indie pop con cui ha ottenuto un grande successo negli anni '10, e degli Steel Train, band alternative rock attiva tra gli anni '00 e '10. Con Bleachers, Antonoff esplora sonorità più sintetiche e melodice, influenzate dal synth-pop degli anni '80 e dalla musica dance. Il suo debutto omonimo del 2014 è stato accolto con grande favore dalla critica e ha segnato l'inizio di una carriera di successo per Bleachers. Tra i brani più rappresentativi troviamo "I Wanna Get Better", "Rollercoaster" e "Don't Take the Money". Nel 2017, Antonoff pubblica il secondo album in studio, "Gone Now", che consolida il suo stile musicale e lo posiziona come uno dei cantautori indie pop più influenti del momento.
