Joy Formidable, The - The Better Me Lyrics






Pushing the shame off my back
Telling the soul walk tall and don't lose track
Tipping it out of my shoes
It's weighing me down, it's weighing me down
Leaving the side of my house
Looking to find a friend, then leave again
Cutting the wires within, so I'll follow you now
Where do I begin?

Ooh
The better me is you
I don't mind
Ooh
The better me is you
And I know why

Quick, they're locking the gates
We were going nowhere anyway
I'm stepping with the sky
But I can't get close
I just circle wide
What you mean to me
I only whisper, whisper to the trees
You make space out of my side
You can only try, you can only try

Ooh
The better me is you
I don't mind
Ooh
The better me is you
And I know why

There's nothing behind us
That says I didn't try
Whoa-oh-oh

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

I have to live
I have to live
I have to live with me

    I miss the feeling of you guys releasing new music. Nobody has your sound

  2. a.... ....

    I love this band, and I love you Ritzy Brian ❤️

  4. T.... V....

  5. T.... V....

    my first thought after i first heard aaarth was "omg she's either pregnant or has just given birth to a child". aaarth is so emm uhhh mature, so grown-up sounding, i mean it is just bigger than all the previous works, it speaks, it tells. i'm astonished and all in love with this work. it's really пиздец как охуенно. i love you, guys. i really do.

    So in 2015 my girlfriend and I were near a covered bridge in Ohio and I seen "The Joy Formidable" written on a guardrail in permanent marker. I took a picture because I was thinking "WTF does this mean?" Well I forgot about it until just now when I was going through old photos. Now I know what it means and I'm happy I do.

    What a great sound these guys have, how can a modern band bring back memories of being a teenager in the 90’s? They would of been huge back then.

  8. P.... B....

    God damn you guys are a beautiful force. 🤘

  9. s.... b....

    I would love to see these guys in Rome one day.

  10. r.... ....
