about

The first release from Better Things full-length album "Getting Worse", 25 Miles Per Hour Blues comes on the heels of a tour leading the band all the way to Austin, Texas for South By Southwest. "Getting Worse" is a culmination of over a year of work between Better Things and their producer, Ryan Cohen (of Robot Dog Studio) which showcases the band's appetite for raw emotion, catchy harmonies, and the complete diversity that their musical collaboration represents.

lyrics

Watch them pass by
Never saw me, never heard me, though I try so hard to be heard
No words entwined with my outbursts of passion could ever influence you
That's all I wanna do!

I'm so scared of getting stuck here
If I keep pushing, will I make it home?

I can't afford to take my time, will I make it home?
If I get lost it's only my life, and what's most important gets left behind

Watch them pass by
Never heard me, never saw me, though I try so hard to be seen
It's obscene, because I believe I deserve this
I deserve this!

I'm so scared of getting stuck here
If I keep pushing, will I make it home?

I can't afford to take my time, will I make it home?
If I get lost it's only my life, and what's most important gets left behind

It feels like I'm not moving at all
It feels like I'm not moving at all
It feels like I'm not moving at all
It feels like I'm not moving at all
