"Goodnight, Good Guy" lyrics
"Goodnight, Good Guy"
Somebody told me 'bout a worn-out distraction
That I, I let slip away
Then it comes back and rides my shoulders
And burdens me every new day
Well, I'll just sit here like a slow burnout
And try to figure how to do without, without you
Who's going to straighten me up
When I'm leaning?
Who's going to soothe my heart
When it's burning?
Who's going to be the one
To tell me everything's alright?
Well, goodnight, good guy
I'll break the bread of a new day and wonder
If faith will carry me along
But days are longer as my heart gets weaker
And I can only stay so strong
Well, I'll just sit here like a wounded soul
Who's finding it difficult to just let go, let it go
Who's going to straighten me up
When I'm leaning?
Who's going to soothe my heart
When it's burning?
Who's going to be the one
To tell me everything's alright?
Well, goodnight, good guy
Well, I'm gonna let you sleep
I'll let you fade off in the night, yeah
I pray the Lord to keep
I pray the Lord to hold you tight
Well, goodnight
Who's going to straighten me up
When I'm leaning?
Who's going to soothe my heart
When it's burning?
Who's going to be the one
To tell me everything's alright?
Well, goodnight
Who's going to straighten me up
When I'm leaning?
Who's going to soothe my heart
When it, when it, when it's burning?
Who's going to be the one
To tell me everything, everything's alright?
Well, goodnight, good guy

I Mother Earth - "Another Sunday" Sunday...
Always hard to get to sleep when
Weird noises are implying threats
On cold sheets I sweat
On any other day
It's all rest and flowers
And a long night of nothing
In the morning...
The Black Crowes - "Could I've Been So Blind" How could I've been so blind
So empty that I've never felt warm
Can I spell it out
Turn myself out of my home
Lookin' like a fool
Feelin' even worse than it seems
Tryin' hard as nails...
Tantric - "I Don't Care" Who knows which one of us will stay
I think it's time
For making it real again
I know it's hard to say goodbye
But if we try
We might get the feel again
Who knows which one of us will stay...
Oleander - "Are You There?" When I feel too far away
From where I want to be
There's nothing left for me, yeah
When I feel too close to breathe
Like a baby cutting teeth
In you I find relief
'Cause when it's more than I...
Fastball - "G.O.D. (good old days)" I've been thinking about the good old day
Decorated in a candy glaze
Each pretty ink blot panel
Tells a different tale
Each photo on the mantel
Sweet memories that never will go stale...
