Lyrics:

I want you, thin fingers
I wanted you, thin fingernails
And when you bend backwards
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh, to make me better

I loved you in springtime
I lost you when summer came
And when you pulled backwards
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh, to make me better
Oh-oh, to make me better

But we're not so starry-eyed any more
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
Won't it all just come around to make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her
But did it make you better?
Did it make you better?

I sung you your twinges
I suffered you your tattletales
And when you broke sideways
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh, to make me better
Oh-oh, to make me better

But we're not so starry-eyed any more
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
And won't it all just come around and make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her
And did it make you better?
Did it make you better?
It make you better, oh

And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine
And all I wanted was a shimmer of your shine
To make me bright

'Cause we're not so starry-eyed any more
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
Won't it all just come around and make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her
But did it make you better?
Did it make you better?
