Better For It, Kid

The National Lights

Let me cover you up
In my buttoned flannel shirt
Your skin's so cold without a skirt on
Let my tongue cut your cheek
And catch the blood before it falls
Cause it'll dirty up your feet
Don't make me say I'm sorry
Cause in my heart, I meant no harm

I'll help you sit up in our bed
And fold your arms cause they'll be tired
From all the praying that you did
The light of day will just bake your skin
And only heaven knows for sure
Exactly what it was we did
Don't make me say I'm sorry
Cause in my heart, I meant no harm
And honey, I know it must seem scary
But, you're better for it now

    General CommentI'm not certain what this is about, but it seems like a couple getting through a hard situation or an argument or perhaps just taking another step in their relationship that they were not completly ready for and now he;s trying to apologize for what happened but says in the end that they will be better form what happened.
