Better in College Songtext
von Robert DeLong

I liked you better in college
I thought I knew what I wanted
Back then, I was a fool

It was love and it was hate
It was real, but it was fake
We were never gonna make it out in time
We were barely getting by

Now we′re caught in between
Gettin' old, and gettin′ free
We were never gonna make it out alive
We're still barely getting by
(We're still barely getting by)

I liked you better in college
I thought I knew what I wanted
Back then, I was a fool
I thought that love was forever
I thought that you made me better
Back then, I was a fool


I was right and you were smart
I was high and you were art
We were never gonna make it out alive
We were barely getting by

Now I′m bored, but getting paid
Now you′re bored of getting laid
No, we were never gonna make it out alive
We're still barely getting by
(We′re still barely getting by)

I liked you better in college
I thought I knew what I wanted
Back then, I was a fool
I thought that love was forever
I thought that you made me better
Back then, I was a fool

I'm still there fallin′
We're still lost, darlin′
I'm still there fallin'
(I′m still there fallin′)
We're still lost, darlin′
(I'm still lost here, darlin′)


Well, I did the math
You and I weren't built to last
We were a broken machine
And I can′t get back
The fake you I made in the past
Can't live life inside of a dream

I liked you better in college
I thought I knew what I wanted
Back then, I was a fool
I thought that love was forever
I thought that you made me better
Back then, I was a fool

I'm still there fallin′
We′re still lost, darlin'
I′m still there fallin'
(I′m still there fallin')
We′re still lost, darlin'
(I'm still lost here, darlin′)

I′m still there fallin'
We′re still lost, darlin'
