"Just When It Gets Good" lyrics

"Just When It Gets Good"

You wanna talk about redemption?
You gotta fuck it up real bad
You give into temptation
Everybody gets sad
Oh, but if you're not careful
You'll come to a full stop
Go swimming in the ocean tide
To a big rock

Why would you leave?
Even if you could
Why would you go?
Just when it gets good

You go looking for a reason
You ain't never gonna find yet
Wind up on a island
Feeling like a misfit
You get broken on a big wave
Cut yourself clean in half
You think you ever gonna fix it?
Don't make me laugh

Why would you leave?
Even if you could
Why would you go?
Just when it gets good

You wanna talk about redemption?
You gotta fuck it up real bad
You give into temptation
Everybody gets sad

Why would you leave?
Even if you could
Why would you go?
Just when it gets good

Why would you leave?
Even if you could
Why would you go?
Just when it gets good
