Letter 4
Dear Paul,
I think I’ve posted this one before.
But just in case you forgot…
Think about it.
Jason Mraz says something really insightful before the song. He says: “It’s a song in case you’re being stalked by anyone and you just want them to go away. And go away doesn’t really work. There was a comedian that once said, ‘Fuck off.’ And I would use something different…if something meant the same. Because go away certain to hell doesn’t mean the same. So this is a fuck off song.”
it’s something like i apologize
it’s something i still can’t decide
but i know it gets better
it only gets better
and i want to say that it’s not always easy
but it’s simple that way
and i want to stay and play it out
but i still have my doubts
so you say it gets better
it only gets better
better this way
better, maybe it’s better this way
beautiful things they never stay, oh, the same way
they pass, oh they pass away, they always change
who are we is who we are
when the act of love can get us so far
so good i wish you would
think twice on me
cuz it only gets better
it only gets better
better this way
better, maybe it’s better this way
just give it some time
just give it some space
just give it some time, maybe it’s better this way
just give it some time
just give it some space
just give it some time, maybe it’s better this way
so better
it’s better this way
baby, it’s better this way
just give it some time
just give it some space
maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe
it’s better, oh, this way
promise me you’ll always be better
better
So there, Paul. It does get better. Even if you get told to fuck off. Which is sort of what it feels like, and doesn’t at the same time. Does that make sense? It’s over, but it’s not. Because we’re going to try to be friends.
Who are we? Jesus, Paul…I don’t know. But I know it gets better for people like you and me. People who dream big and stay home. Ha. I don’t know what we are, Paul. It’s…
I do feel better. Already I feel better.
Yours,
Katie
