The Start of Something Better

[Verse 1]
Wasting days
Waiting on the telephone for you
To answer my calls
I'd rearrange the numbers
To sound a little more sweet
Less incomplete

[Chorus]
Oh, tell me
Are you gonna come save me from myself?
I'm filling all these pages with your words
Oh, tell me
Am I just collecting all the petals
From all the roses that anyone ever gave me?
Am I free?
Please tell me this will be
The start of something better

[Verse 2]
I collect every single letter you give me
To spell a word or two
They say absence makes me fonder
Do you feel different at all?
Am I the only one with a missing piece of heart?

[Chorus]
Oh, tell me
Are you gonna come save me from myself?
I'm filling all these pages with your words
Oh, tell me
Am I just collecting all the petals
From all the roses that anyone ever gave me?
Am I free?
Please tell me this will be
The start of something better

[Verse 3]
I tried to dance
With phantom figures floating in my room
To keep me on track
One of them has your voice and draws me back to you
Indulge my illusions for a night or two

[Chorus]
Oh, tell me
Are you gonna come save me from myself?
I'm filling all these pages with your words
Oh, tell me
Am I just collecting all the petals
From all the roses that anyone ever gave me?
Am I free?
Please tell me this will be
The start of something better

[Bridge]
I'm messing up my own head
Over and over yet again
One more heartbreak
My mind is a late night time machine
And my heart is its prison

[Chorus]
Oh, tell me
Are you gonna come save me from myself?
I'm filling all these pages with your words
Oh, tell me
Am I just collecting all the petals
From all the roses that anyone ever gave me?
Am I free?
Please tell me this will be
Please tell me you will be
Please tell me we will be
The start of something better
The start of something better
