[00:00.41]I got me a shovel
[00:03.76]And I'm digging a ditch
[00:07.20]And I'm gonna fight for this four ****** feet of land like a mean old son of a *****
[00:14.19]I got me a future
[00:17.38]I'm not stuck on the past
[00:21.05]I got no new tricks, yeah I'm up on bricks but me
[00:25.28]I'm a machine and I was built to last
[00:28.09]
[00:29.23]I'm trying to get better because I haven't been my best
[00:34.39]She took a plain black marker, started writing on my chest
[00:40.52]She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart
[00:43.99]And said, come on now, let's fix this mess
[00:47.07]We could get better
[00:49.79]Because we're not dead yet
[00:51.69]
[00:53.34]They threw me a whirlwind
[00:56.57]And I spat back the sea
[01:00.00]I took a battering but I've got thicker skin and the best people
[01:04.68]I know looking out for me
[01:06.76]So I'm taking the high road
[01:09.76]My engines running high and fine
[01:13.62]May I always see the road rising up to meet me
[01:17.50]And my enemies defeated in the mirror behind
[01:20.12]
[01:22.38]I'm trying to get better because I haven't been my best
[01:27.04]She took a plain black marker, started writing on my chest
[01:32.91]She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart,
[01:36.33]And said: "Come on now, let's fix this mess"
[01:39.48]We could get better
[01:42.35]Because we're not dead yet
[01:45.87]
[01:46.87]It's just a knot in the small of your back
[01:49.50]You could work it out with your fingers
[01:53.58]It's just a tune that got stuck in your head
[01:56.35]You could work it out with your fingers
[02:00.41]It's just some numbers tangled up in your sums
[02:03.08]You could work it out with your fingers
[02:07.14]It's just a simple braille mission from the person you miss
[02:10.73]A reminder you could always be
[02:12.80]A little bit better than this
[02:17.13]
[02:17.73]So try and get better and don't ever accept less
[02:23.18]Take a plain black marker and write this on your chest
[02:29.13]Draw a line underneath all of this unhappiness
[02:32.88]Come on now, let's fix this mess
[02:35.28]We could get better
[02:38.13]Because we're not dead yet
[02:42.18]We could get better
[02:44.96]Because we're not dead yet
