There's a better me
I've been working on
I've got this belief now that I'm going on
That there's a place deep down where I come from
All the time, all the time

And there's a better you
I've been waiting on
I've got this book you should read when I get done
It says a better you has been here all along
All the time, all the time

All this time that I spent with you
Just trying to get somewhere closer to the truth
We walked right up to the edge of it
But we sat down

I've got a wooden box, inside a cardboard box, inside a plastic box
On a basement shelf
And I go down there but maybe once a year
By myself, by myself

I've got those pictures there
And all those memories
Now it's got that diamond ring that you gave to me
But I'm gonna bury that under the dogwood tree
By myself, by myself

All this time that I spent with you
Just trying to get somewhere closer to the truth
And we walked right up to the edge of it
But we sat down, we sat down

Down by the riverside lay down, my love, lay down
We'll make our house from this tall grass,
We'll make a feather bed from this dusty ground
and go right up to where the river bends
Throw this all in, let's start again

Cuz there's a better me
And there's a better you
And they've been waiting for us to catch up to them
And they'll hold our hands and remind us to
All the time
All the time
All the time
All the time
