"Something Good" lyrics

"Something Good"

Years of rest
No resolution
I sat back
In deep confusion
Why must this
Happen to me
Why must it happen
At all?

Play me a song
That's truly happy
A film without melancholy
Some novel without an arc
Or a dog who hates to bark
Something good
Something good
Must happen
Somewhere
To someone

I thought I heard a bird singing
Through the city sirens
It was the faintest sound
In the loudest noise
And I couldn't help but admire 'em
I've had a feeling of unimportance
Simmer through my life
So when I hear a whistle
Pierce through a noisy night
I think

Something good
Something good
Must happen
Somewhere
To someone
Something good
Something good
Something good
Must happen somewhere to someone

When it does
I wanna read it in the papers
I wanna read it off your face
A sad story with a good ending
Some temporary faith
Like some things do resolve
And some people are born happy
And some families don't yell
And the bad men do go to jail
And the lawyer who called me last night
Meant it when he said
It's over, girl, you're free now
You really did give it your best
Something good
And I think

Something good
Something good
Must happen
Somewhere
To someone

Something good
Something good
Must happen
Somewhere
To someone

And if the birds are singing
Maybe I should speak
I've been quiet for so long
Because I couldn't leave
Years of rest
No resolution
My legs are sound asleep
It won't be a perfect execution
But I'm free like a bird
So yes
I will use 'em
Cause

Something good
Oh, something good
Must happen
Somewhere
To someone
To someone

Something good
Oh, something
Must happen
Somewhere to someone

If not anyone

To someone
To someone
To someone
To someone
If not anyone
If not anyone
Don't care who it is
Don't care who it is

And I'll read it in the novels
And I'll see it in the movies
And I'll watch them on TV
And I'll save that in my memories
Yes, I don't care
Something good
Must happen to
Someone
