Frank Turner - Better Half Lyrics






Oh my friend loneliness, where have you been?
You left to the lure of the lover who left me alone
But now you come crawling back, and I'll let you in
And we'll slip back into grooves that we cut in ourselves long ago

But there must be a better half, somewhere out there
She lives a better life, a life that shares
Shares with a better man
The man who is there when she calls in the night
Who says "Hey, it's alright"

And oh my dear distance, I've met you before
Longing for a lover who's lost on a far distant shore
And oh my imperfections, are all that remain
And the days when I'd love you and I'd leave you, and you'd wish that I would stay

There must be a better half, somewhere out there
She lives a better life, a life that shares
Shares with a better man
The man who is there when she calls in the night
Who says "Hey, it's alright"

I know what she looks like, her face and skin, her smell and the rest
I know the feel of her soul, but God help me I just cannot find her address
I've how I've tried but now all that's left
Is my old friend distance and sweet loneliness

There must be a better half, somewhere out there
She lives a better life, a life that shares
Shares with a better man
The man who is there when she calls in the night
Who says "Hey, it's alright"
"Hey, it's alright"
"Hey, it's alright"

    I saw Frank at Osheaga a few years ago before I really knew who he was or appreciated him fully. Wish he'd come back to Canada, I'd dish big money to see him again <3

    E.... ....

    watch his website - i saw him in Minnesota 2 years ago, then last September and I have tickets to see him in June!

  2. M.... M....

    thank you BAS for sending this to me! I love you

    One of my fave songs of all time. Seen Frank quite a bit in the Early days at the Cockpit in Leeds. 200 people there. Saw him again in 2010 @ Leeds Fest, R1 Tent 10,000 plus there and it still felt like every song was just for you! An amazing song writer that doesnt get the recognition he deserves.

  4. E.... s....

    I'm glad that he's here, or i may be driven crazy by the horrible music we have nowadays.

    Either that, or you're listening to a shitty summer hit that you can't get out of your head.

  13. L.... ....

    You know you're listening to a masterpiece when you suddenly realise that you've been singing along half way through

  15. F.... ....

    He dedicated this song to me and he broke my heart. I cry every time I hear it. It's so beautiful and it's just so much like our relationship.
