I wish I were better at being good at more things
Like parties and dancing, take-offs and landings
I wish I were better at being good at more things
And you, I wish I were better at you

Your shades are drawn tight
You're in there with the dark
Sometimes I try to find you
Sometimes I catch a spark
And I'll grasp for the light every time it comes
But for you, no light will ever be enough
And you, I wish I were better at you
I wish I were better at you

It's not how you planned it
And you'll be damned if
You let anyone know
But it's no secret
And you can't keep it
Here anymore

I wish I were better at being good at more things
Like faith when the train wrecks, hope for the suspects
I wish we were closer; that's my apology
And you, I wish I were better at you
I wish you were better at me
I wish we were better
I wish we were better
