Better Place Lyrics

Shires Better Place

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
