Be Good (Lion's Song) - Gregory Porter

Sorry if I'm not making sense Please let me speak These words are like a river to cross But the bridge is too weak Takes every strength in me Just to breathe, just to be Seeing life through tracing paper Like I'm not there at all Won't you save me from myself Won't't you save me from myself Be good be kind It's easier to talk to a stranger Than burden a friend Thought that I had learned how to swim But I'm out of my depth This world is sharp edges Lost faith in my friendships Nobody knows how close I am to the edge Won't you save, save me from myself Cause I'm drowning in my worries And I'm looking for somebody to Save save me from myself Be good be kind Be good be kind Oh be good be kind Be good be kind Please be good be kind Be good be kind Oh be good be kind Be good be kind oh Takes every strength in me Just to breathe just to be Seeing life through tracing paper Like I'm not there at all Won't you save, save me from myself Cause I'm drowning in my worries And I'm looking for somebody to save Save me from myself Cause I'm drowning in my worries And I'm looking for somebody to Be good be kind Be good be kind Oh be good be kind Be good be kind Please be good be kind Be good be kind Oh be good be kind Be good be kind oh

It's unclear now, what we intend We're alone in our own world You don't wanna be my boyfriend And I don't wanna be your girl And that, that's a relief We'll drink up our grief And pine for summer And we'll buy beer to shotgun And we'll lay in the lawn And we'll be good Now I'm laughing at my boredom At my string of failed attempts Because you think that it's important And I welcome the sentiment And we talk on the phone at night Until it's daylight And I feel clever And I hear the slow in your speech Yeah you're half asleep Say goodnight Now I've got friendships to mend I'm selfishly dispossessed You don't wanna be my boyfriend And that's probably for the best Because that, that gets messy And you will hurt me Or I'll disappear So we will drink beer all day And our guards will give way And we'll be good

I wasn't born yesterday I've succumb to your wicked ways So I'm movin' up, up and away Up, up and away, up, up and away Seem to think I'm your property And your misconduct is trashing me Now I'm searching for the debris For the debris, for the debris I'm a victim of vandalism Cause you covered me in grafitti I'm a victim of vandalism Since you left your mark on me I'm a victim of vandalism Cause you covered me in grafitti I'm a victim of vandalism Since you left your mark on me I'm a victim Of vandalism I'm a victim Of vandalism I'm a victim Of vandalism I'm a victim Of vandalism I wasn't born yesterday I've succumb to your wicked ways So I'm movin' up, up and away Up, up and away, up, up and away Seeking sabotage any which way The damage done now, wouldn't you say? You really rub me up the wrong way Up the wrong way, up the wrong way. I'm a victim of vandalism Cause you covered me in grafitti I'm a victim of vandalism Since you left your mark on me Vandalism Vandalism I'm a victim Of vandalism I'm a victim Of vandalism I'm a victim Of vandalism I'm a victim Of vandalism

Saw a '95 F150 at a stoplight Looked a lot like yours But it didn't have that learn-to-drive stick shift dent That I put in the door Or that Sunshine State sticker on the gate We'd got in a spring break town Damn, it's been a minute since I've been in it Now I'm thinkin' bout Whose hand's out the window When the window's down? (Ain't me, ain't me no more) Who's turning up the radio way too loud? (I did when I was yours) Who's beer bottle buzzin' on that bench seat Got you parking lot parking like you're seventeen Whose new perfume is fading mine out? Who's that pickup picking up now? Who's that pickup picking up now? Yeah Who's that pickup (who's that pickup picking up now?) Who's that pickup picking up now? Yeah Who's that pickup picking up now? Do you keep a hoodie in the backsеat Like you did for me, in case shе gets cold? Is my cherry lip gloss still there in your glove box? Wonder if she knows that I was her that summer Laid back in your shotgun seat Ain't gonna lie, yeah, sometimes I still wish it was me Whose hand's out the window When the window's down? (Ain't me, ain't me no more) Who's turning up the radio way too loud? (I did when I was yours) Who's beer bottle buzzin' on that bench seat? Got you parking lot parking like you're seventeen Whose new perfume is fading mine out? Who's that pickup picking up now? Who's that pickup picking up now?

Who's picking up the phone on a Friday night When you call saying, "Babe, be ready in five" When you pull in the drive, who's climbing inside? Making memories with you that could've been mine Whose hand's out the window when the window's down? Who's turning up the radio way too loud? Oh-oh Who's beer bottle buzzin' on that bench seat Got you parking lot parking like you're seventeen Whose new perfume is fading by now? Who's that pickup picking up now?
