Bleachers - I Wanna Get Better (Official Audio)

Jack,
Seriously how did you get that picture of me? I gave that picture to Jill Hansen.
Do you remember the day that picture was taken? Nadia Terpavic's mom called me a golem and I began bawling my eyes out in my Grandma's bathroom. I didn't even know what a golem was. It was a birthday party at the end of June. A pool party in Flushing, NY. My mouth was all necrotic. God, that was a tough life. You and Chrissy Travalja were my best friends. Thank you for that. You made things so much easier for me.

Jack,
I hate this picture of me.
Can you remember what my mouth looked like?

Listening to this song: free and just as effective

this came on when i was camping relaxing on the swing and I almost started crying lol it's so raw

Just like the truth and nature of life. I will die with no mark of reason. I leave you to your own devices, to your beliefs and perspectives. To your meaning making will to try to reconcile the absurd relationship of wanting to make sense of a world that is indifferent to our meaning making. My life and death now lives in the perception of the living. The truth is gone and I have been broken. Dance to your hearts content, I'd rather go home now.

Thanks for this song. I am chronically Ill. Helps me

hey fun fact this song is about a fella who ends up killin them self so yeah not as happy as the beat makes it sound

Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather
And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
I frozen time between hearses and caskets
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
I wanna get better
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines
I was losing my mind because the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
That I gave wasted on a nice face
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
Now I'm a stranger
And I miss the days of a life still permanent
Mourn the years before I got carried away
So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
Even if it's gonna kill me
Woke up this morning early before my family
From this dream where she was trying to show me
How a life can move from the darkness
She said to get better
So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet
And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better

kiwis never die o7

What's up kiwibros?

Any other songs like this one?

SHOUTS/SINGS THIS LOUDLY

I wore a knit sweater. Sweater. Sweater. I wore a knit sweater.

I literally found myself screaming I wanna get better at the cars on the overpass when I was homeless and strung out. I'm no longer homeless or strung out

This one is getting me through current hard days and i’m thankful

happy birthday babygirl IWGB! thanks for keeping me alive for 9 years!

HAPPYY 9 YEARS TO THIS MASTERPIECE!!!!

I like the part “mourn the years before I got carried away”…alcohol is my thing.

I just got out of rehab and this suggestion popped up. Coincidence? I think not!

Needing a sequel or revamp to tell me to live again

"What happens if I relapse again?"
"Then you'll get sober again, and you'll set a new record"
If you know what it's from, don't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it ❤️

...

Great lyrics. Great guitar work.

❤️

this is an amazing song

hopessss

Jesus saves :)

I have schizophrenia. I listen to this like every day. I WANNA GET BETTER!! 💚💪

At a rough point right now. Shit is really rough and I don't know if I'll make it through tomorrow without doing something I'll regret, but I can't deny that this song has picked me up in the past and that I believe it'll pick me up long into the future.

Forget about this song till now when I probably needed it most. Hope you all are staying well in this crazy 2022+ world, keep those chins up!

Who else is still listening to this song in 2022, your awsome

I almost forgot all about this song til I heard it in a show trailer and it made me come back to it after all these years

Another day another step closer to better

since this song is up on my recommended videos for some reason 8yrs after I found it, I'll share my thoughts like everyone else in these comments <3

I saw this song in concert a month ago. this and the rest of Strange Desire were my introduction to Bleachers, and because I am autistic and don't take well to new things, I had never listened to the later albums. I never made time. I am still a teenager and dealing with a lot of mental health stuff that I've been carrying around since I was 13, so I never really got a chance to look backb and appreciate how young I was. there was never anything to miss from my pov since I've just been trying to outrun it for those years.

this january, I lost a best friend. and then another in february, to completely unrelated circumstances. two days after he passed, I bought tickets to a Bleachers show. I thought I would go with the rest of our friends- my best friend, my gf, and another friend of all of ours. I listened to 45 and connected it to my situation at the time and the concert took on a lot of sentimental value to me. because Bleachers is very much about grief and loneliness it kinda hit me where I lived at the time. well, I broke up with my gf before the concert. the week of it, actually. and neither of our other friends could make it in the end.

my summer has been filled with huge life changes in what I feel is the right direction. it's kind of soundtracked by this song, because this was the first song of his I ever heard. I wish the two friends I lost could see all the things I'm changing because they wouldn't even recognize my life now. but I'll get better for them even if they can't be here to see it.

if you read all the way here, you know more about me than most people in my life rn 😅 but also thank you :) I hope you're taking care of yourself and moving your life forward the best you can <3

I wanna get wetter, wettter!

I remember when my friend took me home after a heavy night of drinking and drugs I was convinced I was killing myself that day.I had it planned.this song came on.more then 10 years later I'm alive sober I'm married have a amazing life
