And when you bend backwards I wanted you, I needed you

Artist of the day- The Decemberists
Song of the day- Make you better

I currently can't get enough of this song, it's one of this I wish I could play, I wish I could learn all the instruments, I wish I could be in a band, I wish I could've written this song, basically wish I could be better. And as it is the season of starting to fulfill all our resolutions it seems like an appropriate anthem. So here's to all your attempts at improvements and mine, the goings to the gym, the finally reading the Bible in a year, the being nicer, the standing up straighter, the eating healthier and the being more confident and more adventurous...and to all the stars still left in our eyes, this one's for you.



I want you, thin fingers
I wanted you, thin fingernails
And when you bend backwards
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh, 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
Oh-oh, to make me better
Oh-oh, to make me better
CHORUS:
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 unbreak 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 tattletales
And when you broke sideways
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh, to make me better
Oh-oh, to make me better
CHORUS:
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 and make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her
And it'd make you better
Did it make you better?
And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine
And all I wanted was a shimmer in your shine
To make me bright
CHORUS:
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 and make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her
But it'd make you better
It'd make you better
