You guys are here, the band's here, and we're essentially celebrating music that we both care about. So making the records can be really harsh and very intense and kind of pull you apart, but I look forward to celebrating it with you guys. Which is the story of this song. This is a song about loss and depression and anxiety and et cetera, et cetera, and we got to spend the last three years shouting it together. It's called I Wanna Get Better. I traced the faith to a broken down television I put on the weather And I've trained myself to give up on the past Cause the frozen time between hearses and caskets Lost control when I panicked at the acid test I wanna get better While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was losing my mind because the love, the love, the love, the love, the love that I gave Was wasted on a nice face In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet Counting seconds through the night I got carried away That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself, hey I wanna get better Didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better Didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better To my room where there's girls on the ceiling Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling of an 18 year old Who didn't know what loss was Now I'm a stranger And I miss the days of a life still permanent Mourn the years before I got carried away That's why I'm standing on the interstate screaming at myself, hey I wanna get better I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi I'm screaming out my bedroom window Even if it's gonna kill me You know that I woke up this morning early before my family From this dream she was trying to show me How a life can move from the darkness Yeah, she said to get better And so I put a bullet where I should've put a helmet And I crashed my car cause I wanna get carried away That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself, hey I wanna get better I didn't know I was lonely till I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I wanna get better I love you, New Jersey. I love you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
