[Verse 1]
I think I’m an emotional sellout
Smiling at you ‘cause you said that it’s what you deserve
I guess I get your love in return

[Refrain]
It won’t be long
'til the getting better

[Verse 2]
5 pm is dark in November
Seventeen’s gone, and I can’t kick this cold
But the mornings are lighter
And I bought a lottery ticket

[Refrain]
It won’t be long
‘til the getting better

[Chorus]
Ooh, I’m waiting, it won’t begin
Ooh, oh, let me in
Let me in

[Verse 2]
I used to think that love was a fire
Stayed underwater so i couldn’t get burned
But I forgot how to swim
And then the ship started sinking
[Refrain]
It won’t be long
‘til the getting better
It won’t be long

[Chorus]
Ooh, I see it, it’s closing in
Oh, let me in, no
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in

[Verse 3]
A couple more miles to your doorstep
Could be pushing my luck again
Hoping you’re home
But your room’s got a light on
And I bought a lottery ticket

[Refrain]
It won’t be long
‘til I’m gonna win it
It won’t be long, woah
