about

'Better Than Then' is a reflection about how you used to be in unhealthy relationships and then trying to normalize a new relationship when all the while it's the best and most mature one because you matured, they grew with ya, and y'all both realize it and actually talk about. That, and also going to trauma therapy while working all this other shit out. So growth and stuff. Sup. Plus, all my favorite people rock with me on this one too.

Backup Vocals by Rachel Kline of Flowerbomb

Recommended for listening with big headphones and/or cassette tape.

lyrics

A little more quiet than yer used to
That 65 bucks should of went to rent
I’d like to be a little more open with you
Saying all these fucked up things
When I’m feeling bent

I can’t let go. What was I holding onto?
I’m not that bold. But I’m getting used to

I’m better than I used to be back then
Yer better than yer used to be now that yer more than a friend

We think a little more deeper than we’re used to
Learning more words
That’s for the best
It’s like chewing on the fat first
To see what’s really left
Spent 2 years in a room
But that was only a test

I can’t let go. What was I holding onto?
I’m not that bold. But I’m getting used to

I’m better than I used to be back then
Yer better than yer used to be now that yer more than a friend
