i have watching these videos today because of their ajr one and man, somebody give that teacher an award. i've been seeing how passionate he is and how much he loves his kiddos. i'm going to be music teacher one day, and i would love to be as compassionate, kind, and caring as that man seems.
[Verse 1] Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room Calling my name and I follow just to find you I trace the faith to a broken down television, and put on the weather And I've trained myself to give up on the past cause I froze in time between hearses and caskets Lost control when I panicked at the acid test I wanna get better [Verse 2] While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was losing my mind cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love That I gave wasted on a nice face In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet Counting seconds through the night and got carried away [Pre-Chorus] So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars "Hey, I wanna get better!" [Chorus] I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better [Verse 3] I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was Now I'm a stranger And I miss the days of a life still permanent Mourn the years before I got carried away [Pre-Chorus] So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself "Hey, I wanna get better!" [Chorus] I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better [Bridge] Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi I'm screaming from my bedroom window Even if it's gonna kill me [Verse 4] Woke up this morning early before my family From this dream where she was trying to show me How a life can move from the darkness She said to get better So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away [Pre-Chorus] That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself "Hey, I wanna get better!" [Chorus] I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better

I feel robbed that I'm just now finding this- I love Bleachers so much!! 😂😍
Agreed found this today
THE VOICE OF THE KIDS ARE SO CUTE AWWWWW AND JACK SOUNDS AMAZING
this feel incredible
I love love love how he edited his song and didn’t include drug referencing so the children could sing it
When you give, you receive and when you receive you give more.
Amazing - brought tears to my eyes
not jack censoring "getting high" for the kiddos
doesn't he sing "getting by" in this version?
He sings “getting by” instead, and changes one other line as well. It’s his song, he can do whatever he wants.
[Verse 1]
Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
I trace the faith to a broken down television, and put on the weather
And I've trained myself to give up on the past cause
I froze in time between hearses and caskets
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
I wanna get better
[Verse 2]
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines
I was losing my mind cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
That I gave wasted on a nice face
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
[Pre-Chorus]
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[Chorus]
I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
[Verse 3]
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
Now I'm a stranger
And I miss the days of a life still permanent
Mourn the years before I got carried away
[Pre-Chorus]
So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[Chorus]
I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
[Bridge]
Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
Even if it's gonna kill me
[Verse 4]
Woke up this morning early before my family
From this dream where she was trying to show me
How a life can move from the darkness
She said to get better
So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet
And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away
[Pre-Chorus]
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[Chorus]
I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
❤️
