Fiona Apple – Better Version Of Me lyrics

The nickel dropped when I was on
My way beyond the rubicon
What did I do?

And the games that I could handle
And then the ones with a candle
What can I do?

I'm a frightened, fickle person
Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'
What should I do?

Oooh, after all the folderol*
and hauling over coals** stops
What will I do?

Can't take a good day without a bad one
Don't feel just to smile until I had one
Where did I learn?

I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where's the turn?

I don't want a home I go
and that home
is where my habits have a habitat
Why give it term?

Oooh, after all the folderol
and hauling over coals stops
What did I learn?

I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry and complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damn breeze dry my face

Oh mister wait until you see
What I plan to be

I've got a plan to demand and it just began
And if you're right, you'll agree

Here's coming a better version of me
Here's coming a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
