// Lyrics //

Come home and stay the night.
Nothing's this black and white.
Dim the bedroom light
If you can hear me.
Get the dog to bark.
Why's everything so hard?

All the pain I had is unraveling now.
All the pain I had,
I'm pulling thread by thread
To raise my dead.
Every day I'm getting better.
I know every day I'm getting better.
I know every day I'm getting better.
Ay, ay, ay.
No, I am.

I've tried the booze, the bells.
Paid charlatans for spells.
What the day repels just
Rises rested, waiting in the dark.
Why's everything still so hard?

All the pain I had is unraveling now.
All the pain I had, I'm pulling thread by thread
To raise my dead.
Every day I'm getting better.
I know every day I'm getting better.
I know every day I'm getting better.
I, I, I know I am.

Still, I'd rather be someone who loved.
