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 ♪ 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 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 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 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 ♪ Better Better Better Better Better (I got to know you) Better (through it all it was much) Better (I got to know you) Better But though the violence of life brings us to our knees I hope I can say I got to know you better Better Better
