Better Things
Passion Pit Lyrics

That was our fifth song,
We have come a long way and performed for you before. This is our fifth song of the evening.

And I hope you enjoyed it,
I hope you liked the songs we played so far.

Now this would be our best song you have ever heard,
We are confident that this next song will be the most enjoyable one for you.

The dirt bikes going on stage. thank you.
We are going to perform this song with lots of energy and enthusiasm. Thank you for being with us tonight.

You're gonna drive me crazy
Your behavior is going to make me lose my sanity.

You're gonna drive me mad
Your actions are going to make me very upset and frustrated.

You got an angel on your shoulder
You have someone or something that is trying to guide and protect you.

Makin' hairpins outta glass
This guidance or protection is very delicate and fragile.

I believe in believing
I have faith in the power of belief and positivity.

The things that we don't see
I have faith in the existence of things that are beyond our physical perception.

And the skin violin is where the neighbors won't read meals
The music I create is very personal and emotional, and not everyone can understand it or relate to it.

And the family heirloom jewelery
Family traditions and values are very important to me.

With sets and heaps of thieves
Despite their value, these traditions can be stolen or lost.

Will cast down things
These traditions can bring down things that are unfamiliar or out of place.

That you've never even
These new things may be unknown and unfamiliar.

Seen like the gods
These new experiences may be divine or godly in nature.

Like the glory like the stories
These new experiences may be full of glory and inspiring stories.

That your fathers set before you
These experiences may be part of your family or cultural heritage.

Ride the tiger round the kingdom
Take control and enjoy the adventure of the unknown.

Oh no oh no
An expression of concern or realization.

Oh no there's a meeting in the canyons
Something important or concerning is happening in an isolated or remote area.

Oh no this is rising to the clouds
The situation is becoming more serious or dangerous, and is spreading.

Baby don't be unhappy
Don't be sad or upset.

Baby don't be sad
Don't feel down or depressed.

Better things are coming
Things will get better and improve in the future.

I swear there's truth in that
I am not lying, and truly believe in this message of hope.

I'm shooting off the cannons
I am taking bold action or making a big effort.

Of the clouds begin to flow
As something significant is happening in the sky or atmosphere.

And the baskets weave
People's actions and decisions are interweaving and affecting each other.

???????? but the ones we'll never keep
Something important is being lost or forgotten.

Just pretend that things are mobile and will never stay put
Accept the impermanence of things and try to adapt and move forward.

And the way we were the day we climbed to the top of the
Reflecting on a past experience or memory.

Steeple with its people spewing angels out their mouths
A religious or spiritual experience where others are expressing their faith.

and letting tables turn to charcoal in the lipstick
The transformation or destruction of something important or useful.

and the lipstick in the evening
The transformation or destruction of something important or useful, happening at nighttime.

Oh no
An expression of concern or realization.

we were waving like the trees
We were happy and carefree, like the natural world around us.

then they moved us to the sky
Something changed or ended, and we were no longer in our happy place.

Two or three times the bell will ring
Repeated events or cycles, possibly marking a significant moment or transition.

but when when we look for the better things we search for this we have not build
We may not always recognize or appreciate the potential for better things in our lives, even when they are within our reach or control.

I feel it crash upon your skin
An intense emotional or physical experience that is affecting or overwhelming you.

I find it hard to believe there more
It is difficult to accept or comprehend that there is more to life than what we currently experience.

Of these things behind the door
Unknown, hidden or mysterious things that we have yet to discover or experience.

Do you miss me like I miss you
Wondering about someone's emotions or feelings, and if they feel the same way you do.

Do I miss you like you miss me
Reflecting on your own feelings and emotions towards someone.
