Better Than Our Worst Days

from Collecting Anchors by Shannon Murray

/

lyrics

I’ve got an imagination like you wouldn’t believe/I write all my own screenplays to all my pending personal tragedies/if I get a little notion I’ll set them all in motion with precision and skill/oh if certainty were a weapon mine would certainly be set to kill/It’s just my stupid head believing again/You could be better than your worst days/better than my worst memory/You are caught up in the crossfire of my ego and my ire/while I am steadfast at the confluence of terror and desire/this place birthed me, made me, then betrayed me/oh in this town my past is an anchor that pulls me down/and the little fishies feel nothing as I drown/It’s just my stupid heart with its stalwart ramparts/it’s just my stupid head believing again/we could be better than our worst days/better than our worst memories/I’d like take you home with me and prove all of this wrong/but would I be so bold, or so brave if I weren’t hiding in this song/I want you tie me up, want you tie me down/want you to take me for a ride/could you lay to waste the feeling I’m never safe/come on it’s buried deep, deep down inside/It’s just my stupid heart with its stalwart ramparts/it’s just my stupid head believing again/you could be better than my worst day/better than my worst memory.
