I grew up running from the best of me

And I'm still not sure just who I am supposed be

So hold me again before I fall

Hold tight

Hold tight

I hung back in the shadows and periphery

And you took my hand through the bright lights when they blinded me

You kissed me again

You pulled me in close

You smiled

So I smiled

'Cause everything's better as soon as you're next to me

I know I fall apart, but you fix me with your heart

Everything's better

You're there in the fight with me

And when I fail to start, you fix me with your heart

I grew up trying to hit light speed

But I lost my nerve when the big kids kicked it out of me

You saved me the sin of getting lost in my mind, my mind

'Cause everything's better as soon as you're next to me

I know I fall apart, but you fix me with your heart

Everything's better

You're there in the fight with me

And when I fail to start, you fix me with your heart

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

You're fearless in defeat

You're a dancer in the street

And you look the deepest darkness in the eye

We missed the last bus home

Found a park bench for a throne

And the stars stayed out tonight

And everything's better

Everything's better

Yeah, everything's better as soon as you're next to me

I know I fall apart, but you fix me with your heart

Everything's better

You're there in the fight with me

And when I fail to start, you fix me with your heart

Ooh

Ooh

I'm better with you

Ooh

Ooh

I'm better with you
