Better Than Before
Aaron Tveit

The memories are there somewhere

Find some pictures you can share

Keepsakes of the life that's there behind her

Keep it light at first that's best

Careful that she's not distressed

When the time's right tell the rest

Remind her, you'll find her

So let's start with something small

Something personal and pretty

I bet you'll know these shiny things

They must be tacky trinkets

From I guess, Atlantic City?

No, actually Di, they're our wedding rings

It's going well

Here's a flower from our wedding

It was such a sight to see

And the ceremony everything we'd hoped

Um, dad

Well, that's how I remember it

So that's how it'll be

It was raining, it was Portland

You eloped, I mean Portland

It's an open book to write here

It's a life we can restore

We can get back what we had and maybe more

Maybe get us back to better than before

Here's the year we drove the west

We hit the highway in the Honda

And I took pictures everywhere we went

We saw the painted desert

The Grand Canyon and Aunt Rhonda

And Nat learned what her middle finger meant

Here's the first house that we owned

On Walton Way, we loved that place

Then we built this one on land that we both chose

And here's a pic of all of us

With smiles on every face

And the photoshopping hardly even shows

You're standing by a lake with all these ducks

And who's this little chubby girl?

That's Natalie, this sucks

Gonna get us back to normal

Gonna get us back to good

Gonna get back what we had and maybe more

Gonna get us back to good times

And forget the things we should

Gonna get us back to better than before

We can get things back to better than before

Alright, fine

Here's the headline in the paper

When you freaked out at the market

Here's the house on Walton Way after the fire

Natalie

Here's the damage to the Honda

When you showed me how to park it

Did we crush somebody's cat beneath the tire?

Yes, ours

Here's dad at my recital

And we're wondering where you are

I remember this, I made it to the school

Wait, you remember?

It was the year of too much lithium

I hid out in the car, yes

And your swim meet just last year, I'm in the pool

So you are

You're getting it, you've got it Di, hooray

Your life has kind of sucked I think

You've got it, yeah hooray, hooray, hooray

Gonna get back what I lost there

Gonna find out who I was

Gonna open up the gates and let it pour

And if memory makes things better

Well, memory always does

Gonna get us back to better than before

Make everything much better than before

Won't anything be better than before?

I guess it must be better than before, better than before
