Better Half - Frank Turner

Oh my friend loneliness, where have you been?

You left to the lure of the lover who left me alone

But now you come crawling back, and I’ll let you in

And we’ll slip back into grooves that we cut in ourselves long ago

But there must be a better half, somewhere out there

She lives a better life, a life that shares

Shares with a better man

The man who is there when she calls in the night

Who says «Hey, it’s alright»

And oh my dear distance, I’ve met you before

Longing for a lover who’s lost on a far distant shore

And oh my imperfections, are all that remain

And the days when I’d love you and I’d leave you, and you’d wish that I would

stay

There must be a better half, somewhere out there

She lives a better life, a life that shares

Shares with a better man

The man who is there when she calls in the night

Who says «Hey, it’s alright»

I know what she looks like, her face and skin, her smell and the rest

I know the feel of her soul, but God help me I just cannot find her address

I’ve how I’ve tried but now all that’s left

Is my old friend distance and sweet loneliness

There must be a better half, somewhere out there

She lives a better life, a life that shares

Shares with a better man

The man who is there when she calls in the night

Who says «Hey, it’s alright»

«Hey, it’s alright»

«Hey, it’s alright»
