Better than I left

BETTER THAN I LEFT (D G D F# B E)

 

Arms flailing. Wind in my face. I might be wrong but it’s not a mistake.

Mud on my feet. Slipping uphill. The ocean is rough but my mind is still. My mind is still.

And I might be crazy. I might be a mess. But I always come back better than I left.

 

Eyes closed. Listening in. I’m holding my breath. I’m learning to swim.

Undone. Under the sky. I am right here. It doesn’t matter why. It doesn’t matter why.

Because I might be blown away. I might get swept. But I always come back better than I left.

 

I’ve got an idea. I’ve got a plan. Let’s cross our legs and sit in the sand.

Day after day. Night after night. How will you know? What will it feel like?

Because I might be naked. I might be well dressed. I might be kicked out like an unwelcome guest.

I might be manic. I might be depressed. But I always come back better than I left. I always come back better than I left.

Better than I left.
