Sara Bareilles - Before I Ever Knew Better

Don't know where to put you anymore
You can't be kept inside my dresser drawer
I find the pieces of you in my dreams
And in the evenings
Spill out the edge of my mind.
Memories of you feel like they're miles wide
It's all I can do to get to the other side
Of these evenings

Chorus
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
Knew you'd love me forever
Before I ever knew better

Can't see myself back beside you
But I see nobody else
Nobody's perfect but I'm perfectly happy to keep on
Bringing this love down off the shelf.

Chorus
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
Knew you'd love me forever
Before I ever knew..

Bridge
Better off, I couldn't say if I'd be better off without a love I live without anyway
Better off, oooh. Who knows? See you tonight.
Before I ever knew better

Inkslinger-

Many of the songs you feature by Sara Bareilles I have not heard and I am a huge fan of hers. Where did you find the music?....

Thanks

[theinkslinger]

@tmwddp6 I actually downloaded them from limewire years ago, I figured I'd share the love since they're so rare :)

what's with the god awful clapping sound.

[MsJaniceAnn]

I love this song. Love the lyrics, her voice and it turned out pretty darn awesome for a live recording. Great song!

[TheUnpredictable88]

Am I the only guy who love Sara and all her songs

@reshloveschoir i think it's ear-sex. it's why all of our ears are soundgasming right now.

[Kgcassidi1]

[shawem1]

don't think its clapping- probably a result of holding a mic up to a speaker.

[ellz334]

if i had to chose which is mega difficult i think id say this is her best song except for the clapping tragic :P

[FamilyofSupernatural]

@theinkslinger It wasn't on Careful Confessions. It was probably on The First One or Summer Sessions.

@leeedwards369 Yeah. I was about to put it on my iPod and then heard the clapping nose and freaked out lol
