[Verse 1]
When I'm caught up in sense making
I tend to go too far
I just go on and on guessing
To find a reason why

[Chorus]
I want something better
To affect me now (affect me now)
To put in big bold letters
Before I get down (before I get down)
I think I need a teacher to lean on against
Before I move along alone
A friend I wanna keep here to fly all the way
I don't wanna settle for less
I want something better, something better, mhm
I want, I want something better

[Verse 2]
When I catch myself breaking down
My body in despair
I don't listen to all the hidden sounds
I'm yelling, "I don't care" (I don't care)

[Chorus]
I want something better
To affect me now (affect me now)
To put in big bold letters
Before I get down (before I get down)
I think I need a teacher to lean on against
Before I move along alone
A friend I wanna keep here to fly all the way
I don't wanna settle for less
I want something better, something better, mhm
I want, I want something better
[Bridge]
I'm tryna break up with my decision making
Yeah, you know me
Yeah, you know
I'm tryna wake up my blind patience, take 'em
Yeah, you know me
Yeah, you know

[Alternative Chorus]
I think I need a teacher to lean on against
Before I move along alone
A friend I wanna keep here to fly all the way
I don't wanna settle for less

[Outro]
Something better
I want, I want something
Something better
It's turning me up and I know
I want, I want something
Something better
It's turning me up now
I want, I want something
Something better
It's turning me up and I know
It's turning me up now
