Discover the story of the song > Better Than – Lake Street Dive

The protagonist is feeling overwhelmed by all the problems they see in the world and could either keep reading about it or wallow in misery but instead they turn off the TV and let go of the things they can't control. They realize that it's better to not pretend to know the answers and instead just be true to themselves. They value their independence and would rather be alone than in a bad relationship.
