[Verse 1]
Many come and go on the earth
Our lives are but a whisper's worth
I can long for more than that
But I give myself a horizon’s curse
And we're born into this dream
That last the night but morning comes
Then we'll cry from dust to dust
[Verse 2]
There are mountains behind our words
It’s taken us years to break their hurt
These forests burn with a single ember
It's mostly us who threw them first
What you said won't always help me
Won't always help me out
What I said oh it would bring you down
It would bring you down
[Chorus]
But though the violence of life brings us to our knees
I hope I can say I got to know you bеtter
And friends come and go oftеn as they please
Then there is you
I got to know you better
Better
[Verse 3]
Many come and go on the earth
Our lives are but a whisper's worth
I can long for more than that
But I give myself a horizon's curse
Real love can last a lifetime
Can last a lifetime if you get it
Real love can last a lifetime if you let it
[Chorus]
But though the violence of life brings us to our knees
I hope I can say I got to know you better
And friends come and go often as they please
Then there is you
I got to know you better
Better
[Bridge]
Better, better, better, better
Better (I got to know you)
Better (Through it all it was much)
Better (I got to know you)
[Chorus]
But though the violence of life brings us to our knees
I hope I can say I got to know you better
Better
Better
Better
