Song Description

Lyrics

Say goodbye to me, part of me's out the door.
I've had enough of me, but who's keeping score
The stupid things I said and did to you just yesterday
Are the same stupid things I said and did, but in more stupid clever ways.
And the signpost up ahead says it's the time for me to make a change.

So, I'm taking the high road, tired of the low road,
Look at where it's got me today.
Every moment's giving me a chance for another way.
Hindsight, insight, talking all night, is fine if we're writing a play,
But I'm taking me on, so very soon, I'll be pleased to introduce to you,
The Better Me.

This is harder than I thought, pieces of me won't budge,
You said it's going too slow, I said welcome to my sludge.
It seems to me you said that you'd be with me on the other end.
I thought that meant that you'd go through with me, not be a fair-weather friend.
Now the light at the end of the tunnel is turning out to be a train coming round the bend.

So, I'm taking the high road, tired of the low road,
Look at where it's got me today.
Every moment's giving me a chance for another way.
Hindsight, insight, talking all night, is fine if we're writing a play,
But I'm taking me on, so very soon, I'll be pleased to introduce to you,
The Better Me.

SOLO

I'll make all your friends wonder why you gave up this damn fine guy....

So, I'm taking the high road, tired of the low road,
Look at where it's got me today.
Every moment's giving me a chance for another way.
Hindsight, insight, talking all night, is fine if we're writing a play,
But I'm taking me on, so very soon, I'll be pleased to introduce to you,
The Better Me.
