Текст песни Decemberists - Make You Better

This is largely based on the video of Colin playing in New York, less so on the recording.   

   (x2)

  I want you, thin fingers;
  I wanted you, thin fingernails.
  And when you bend backwards
  I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh to make me better

I'll love you in spring time
I lost you when summer came.
And when you pulled backwards
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh, to make me better.
Oh-oh to make me better.

  But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
And won't it all just come around to make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her
But it'd make you better.
It'd make you better.

I sung you your twinges
I suffered you your tattletales.
And when you broke sideways
I wanted you, I needed you
Oh-oh, to make me better.
Oh-oh, to make be better.

But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
And won't it all just come around to make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her
And it'd make you better.
And it'd make you better.
Did it make you better?

INSTRUMENTAL:
    (x2)

BRIDGE:
  And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine.
  And all I wanted was a shimmer in your shine
To make me bright

Cause we're not so starry-eyed anymore
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
And won't it all just come around to make you
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her
And it'd make you better.
And it'd make you better.
