Emily Lazar - Nothing Better lyrics

[Verse 1: Ben Gibbard] Will someone please call a surgeon Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart that you're deserting For better company I can't accept that it's over And I will block the door Like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter Of a tied-game rivalry So, just say how to make it right And, I swear I'll do my best to comply [Hook: Ben Gibbard] Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together? [Verse 2: Jen Wood & Ben Gibbard] I feel I must interject here You're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself With these revisions and gaps in history So let me help you remember I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear Prepared a lecture On why I have to leave So, please back away and let me go I can't my darling I love you so Oh, oh [Hook: Ben Gibbard & Jen Wood] Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together (Tell me am I right?) Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future (Tell me am I right?) Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures [Outro: Ben Gibbard & Jen Wood] I know that I have made mistakes And I swear I'll never wrong you again You've got allure, I can't deny But, you've had your chance so say goodbye Say goodbye
