The gretaest thing about this song is that although the lyrics are simple, they are incredibly affective. I often feel that people on this service analyse the lyrics too much, but with this song the meaning is very obvious.
Thom Yorke never trys to hide his emotions in his songs and i think his repetition of the phrase, "it's getting better" shows that it's not getting better at all, and that in fact, he loves her so much, he cant live without her. Listen to this song after you break up from a relationship and the sheer simplicity, overwhelming heartache (in both the lyrics and the guitar) and the immense beauty will move you to tears.
