Better Place - The Shires

Broken and hopeless, barely getting by

That’s who I told myself I was that night

Then an angel in blue jeans pulled up a seat next to mine

Ordered my drink, tequila, no lime

How’d we get from «How are you?»

to kissing in a corner booth

To my love and my best friend, to being who you say I am?

Let me stay with you, stay with you all of my days

And I’ll be leaving this world in a better place

I just wanna lay with you, lay with you, that’s all it takes

And I’ll be leaving this world in a better place, a better place

Got so used to lonely, had to drag myself out

Told all my friends I’ll only last an hour

I saw a halo above you in the neon light

That empty chair beside you had to be a sign

How’d we get from «How are you?»

to kissing in a corner booth

To «I never want this night to end» to putting this ring on my hand?

Let me stay with you, stay with you all of my days

And I’ll be leaving this world in a better place

I just wanna lay with you, lay with you, that’s all it takes

And I’ll be leaving this world in a better place, a better place

Let me stay with you, stay with you all of my days

I’ll be leaving this world in a better place, a better place
