Bleachers - I Wanna Get Better Lyrics
Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather
And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
I froze in time between hearses and caskets
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 wasted on a nice face
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars,
I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
Of an eighteen 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
So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself,
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til 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 from my bedroom window
Even if its gonna kill me
Woke up this morning early before my family
From this dream where she was trying to show me
How a life can move from the darkness
She said to get better
So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet
And I crash 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 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better

Bleachers I Wanna Get Better Comments
Day 7! Im getting better!!!!!!
Woah okay, there a lot of depressed people who listen to this. 🤜🏿🤛🏻
My absolute and total theme song. ❤
I didn't know I was broke until I wanted some change.
I have this on a spotify playlist called The Scream-Cry Sing-Along Car Ride that's genuinely dangerous to listen to while driving because I can't see the road through the tears.
Fierce Fragile Hearts anyone?
we luv you lena
pls stop eating <3
Fuck it, I'm showering, I'm gonna paint my feelings out. And I'm gonna fight back, I won't let anything control me anymore
just found this song yessssss!!!!
figure it out? and 46and 2? no your still all talk and a liar .. if you meant it even if you meant it a little you would tell me... just be honest with me and yourself .. you dont want to get better you enjoy it.. just own it
There will be a Jesus in your womb
It’s actually a pretty big honor
It’s more like an Oscar than an Emmy
Thank you mike birbiglia
I saved your best friend
i see within myself a huge will to change and evolve
I am getting better
Slowly?
Swiftly?
It doesn't matter
I will do it
Without you
I love you
Does this remind anyone else of tally hall or is it just me
The bleachers make an odd genre, its not sad. But not happy. It's Moore uplifting and motivational than anything.
First time listening, and i can tell this is gonna change my life
I felt aaaaaaaaaall of this song especially there part where it slows down and he talks and just all of it yes
im here cause of shgurrrrrrrrr
NEW GIRL SEASON 4
😫🙌
i chase that feeling of an 18-year-old who didn’t know what loss was, and now i’m a stranger
''I miss the days of a life still permanent", remember being a kid and not yet realising you're going to die? I wanna go back.
You were fine for the eons before you were born, if you can handle it then you should be able to handle it whenever it comes. I personally dont fear death. It leads to nonexistence, and in nonexistence, there is no capacity to suffer, whether that be pain or suffer from the lack of joy. There is simply nothing, a peaceful abyss. I'm not scared of death, I'm scared of the pain that comes with death, but I'll only feel that pain for a little bit before I sleep eternally. That's just my view though.
i really wanna get better. frick this depression!
Who is here from shgurr?

The person with the pink hair on the thumbnail was the reason I listened to this lmao
This song makes me wanna get better.
how to no fap
Theme song for #soctober
Maybe he wasn't "broken" then, and truly an artistic "feeling" of a separate "difference" with the next action of "Phenoixing" from a "broken" "state".
an artistic possibly mistakenly "associated" with "changing", whatever "changing" is.
And maybe he wasn't "lonely", but
Everytime I listen to this I picture myself in a car with my best friend, driving fast through a highway to get our girlfriends while we're screaming the lyrics out of our lungs and thinking about the shit we've been through and got over in life.
Unfortunately we don't have a car, neither girlfriends, and we're not that closer since I consider he's my best friend but I don't think I'm his.
Just imagine being THIS happy...
This song is such a motivator. It makes
you want to get up, show up, and make
your life into a better version.
I just remembered when I was 15 and I first listened to this song I had a strange feeling as if my inner self is talking to me directly ahhhhh I still get this feeling even though its been so long since that time I kind of miss those days.....
I hear the voice
First heard this song 3 years ago but just now realized how depressing thing song is. Was introduced to this band by watching too much nat geo btw(rollercoaster)
i was doing awful until april
in april i realized i had my first crush
i immediately knew that i wanted to look great and be better for his sake.
everything leading up to now, i've bettered myself and it was all for him.
I heard this song, and then I realized it should also be for myself.
And it looks like it worked. I've been with him for 4 and a half months. :)
I love this song 2019
at 11, i didn’t think i was gonna make it past middle school. i’m still here !!!!!
how'd i go 5 fucking years without this song?
Screaming the words to this song, saying to myself
I WANNA GET BETTER!!!!!!!!
"I wanna get better."
Don't we all...?
ほんまええ曲👍👍👍👍👍
Shout out to all my people who going through the inner struggle and are unhappy with yourself
Stay strong be great be yourself we gonna breakthrough
This is the only happy song that has ever made me cry in my life so far
I don't like to be uppity about music, but this song is better than - and certainly has a better message than - at least 95% of music ever produced. Beethoven himself couldn't give people this much hope.
“Who didn’t know what loss was”
Is this loss?
I love this song so much but I just now recognized that the artist was describing struggles with being suicidal. It only really hit me when he said, “so I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet.”
this cant be 5 years old...fuck i didnt expect time to pass this quickly...
this song is my 2019
Generally a song of my teenage to 25+ life.
It's strange, this isn't my type of music at all. I'm typically listening to blues, blues rock, other slower heavier bluesy stuff that I can't quite define. Emphasis though, on music that sounds nothing like this. And yet I absolutely love this song.
They both die at the end needs a fuckin movie w this song in it.
5 years later this song still helps when I'm starting a downswing.
Anyone here because of spratt
im only 15, but so many years of my childhood have been taken away from me due to depression and anxiety. for so long i couldn't do _anything_ . forgot to shower, i forgot to eat. some days i couldn't even get out of bed. my social life was basically nonexistant. paired with my ADD, school was a living nightmare. i had only a few friends on the internet, and i couldn't even go outside without wanting to cry. so many times i begged whatever higher being put me here to just _take me out already_ .
this is all still here, but recently, little by little i've been finding motivation in myself. i've learned how to cook breakfast. i go upstairs and spend time with my family. i passed the year with good grades. i say small "thank you"s and "have a good day"s to people when i go out. i put myself out there and talk to more people online, even if im still scared they'll hate me.
it's just small things, and it'll still take many more years to get where i want to be, but... hey, i wanna get better.
I really want to defeat my social anxiety. I dont want to be sad all the time. This song actually helps.
listening 2 hopefully remind myself that its gonna get better some point in the future !! i will leave my abusive home eventually and i will be happy and content in my life knowing i am safe
This song never has an ad before it. I’m in love🤣
Its a sad song.
But if you can dance to it like no one is watching,
You get better.
Most of these comments are old, but I hope when you guys and gals are all better now, and that you’re happy and are doing something that you want to.
Who’s here from Spratt’s 1000 Prestige Montage?
this song is a big inspiration to me. first time i heard it, i cried and felt- for once in my life, happy. this song made me feel like i should change my negative thinking and even though i’m far from even being stable again, this song helped a lot. the whole vibe to it just makes me so emotional. the lyrics are clearly depressing and has a very deep background to it, but the melody is very happy and upbeat. it’s kinda like,,, me. i act happy and upbeat, and i often joke about how sad i am but really i feel lonely and depressed half of the time. it’s a hidden message disguised as a bright, happy melody. maybe that’s why this song hits so close to home for me. thank you for creating this song, really.
Spratt anyone?
I barely discovered this cool song.
Who here after Spratts video
Sprattyy brought me here, and this is a banger!!
I’m so irked cuz Antonoff’s voice reminds me of Ringo Starr 😂
Get...off...my....LAWN!!!
🗣️I wanna get better, better better better!
homeless people
I read this as I want to get better audio
I know it's hard but I wanna get better
New girl? Anyone? Even in 2019? :D
This song hit close to home, it makes me want to dance and cry at the same time, like hOw?????
"I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change." Mmm yeah, I feel that
This song destroys me every time i hear it
it's great
Sometimes I sit I'm my room at 4am thinking about life and what not. Listening to music to try to make myself feel better or distract myself from sad thoughts. And I find amazing songs like these that give me this strange feeling. A yearn for something that I didn't realize I had. A yearn to become the best version of me I can be. The me that's gonna take control of life and live my dreams. I don't wanna end up in the point when I feel I have to give up. I don't want anyone to feel that way. Music like this gives me a hope. Hope that I can change. And I'm gonna. I'm gonna go start exercising, I'm gonna eat healthier, take action and make new friends, join clubs and groups i want to because I have one life here on Earth and I want it to be something that makes me proud if I were to look back on it all. And I hope everyone can reach the point where they feel the same, and try their hardest to make themself the best version of them they can be.
Caught myself mouthing “I wanna get better, better,better,better.” During a panic attack.
I feel like I lost so many years to my anxiety...Putting a helmet on a helmet.
The comments here are so sad. Maybe I can offer some practical advice
Find 30, 15, or 10 minutes to fix something that needs fixing. Are there dishes that need to be done? Is there laundry to be washed? Does the floor need vacuuming? Then fix it. You can find a small amount of time. Even better fix for someone. Do have a mother? a spouse or a child? Then fix it for them. Lighten their burden even if it's just a little bit. That little thing you've done will be one less thing they have to do. You will not only have made one small part world better you will have helped someone you love. At the end of the day write down the thing you've done. Know that you accomplished something no matter how small. Then the next day do it again or find something else fix. Every day write that down. Keep doing it for 30 days. Then look at your list of everything you've done, the list of darkness you brightened, the list of little steps you took each day. Your purpose can be to help in a small way someone you love. You can have that goal, that reason. There is no finer purpose than to lessen the misery for someone.
If you are hurting, please reach out. I'm willing to help any way I can.
Anyone else here because of New Girl?
Tifosi_14 yes
Reading the comments on this song made me cry and gave me hope again. We're gonna get better !
