The Shires - Better Place Lyrics

Broken and hopeless
Barely getting by
That's who I told myself I was that night
Then an angel in blue jeans
Pulled up a seat next to mine
Ordered my drink
Tequila no lime

How'd we get from "how are you?"
To kissing in a corner booth
To my love and my best friend
To being who you say I am

Let me stay with you
Stay with you all of my days
And I'll be leaving this world
In a better place
I just wanna lay with you
Lay with you
That's all it takes
And I'll be leaving this world
In a better place
A better place
Ooh, ooh

Got so used to lonely
Had to drag myself out
Told all my friends I'll only last an hour
I saw a halo above you
In the neon light
That empty chair beside you
Had to be a sign

How'd we get from "how are you?"
To kissing in a corner booth
To I never want this night to end
To putting this ring on my hand

Let me stay with you
Stay with you all of my days
And I'll be leaving this world
In a better place
I just wanna lay with you
Lay with you
That's all it takes
And I'll be leaving this world
In a better place
A better place
Ooh, ooh

Ooh (let me stay with you, stay with you)
Ooh (I just wanna lay with you, lay with you)
Ooh (let me stay with you, stay with you)
Ooh (I just wanna lay with you, lay with you)

Let me stay with you
Stay with you all of my days
And I'll be leaving this world
In a better place, a better place
