Let a Good Thing Grow - The Hill and Wood

You can't ask a tree to blossom If it isn't spring Don't leave the house at midnight And expect the birds to sing If you're looking for a reason You needn't even try Sometimes, it's time to let a good thing die You can't conjure up more money If you've only got a dime No use praying for your younger days If you're running out of time You can take a horse to water But you can't teach fish to fly Sometimes, it's time to let a good thing die You can't light a fire from nothing Or clap and make snow fall You can't summon love up in your heart If it isn't there at all Life isn't like the movies But it sure will make you cry When it dawns on you it's time to say goodbye You can drum up the heartbeats Of loved ones come to pass Stop wishing for forever 'Cause nothing ever lasts If it's keeping you from sleeping Wipe the tear from your eye 'Cause sometimes, it's time to let a good thing die

If you only knew what I saw in you You might break your rules Even change your mind Someday you'll grow up hopefully know enough And recognize A good thing when you see it I know you're kinda slow so boy I'll repeat it I could be that good thing I could be that good thing I think you've had enough It's time that you step up and use your voice For something more cause all that sweet talk worked with them girls You been with before But not with me I need to know If you're done being a boy and you're ready to grow up You better recognize A good thing when you see it I know you're kinda slow so boy I'll repeat it I could be that good thing I could be that good thing If you only knew what I saw in you I could be that good thing A good thing when you see it I know you're kinda slow so boy I'll repeat it I could be that good thing I could be that good thing

Girl, we got a good thing You know where this is heading (uh-huh) Just a couple lovebirds Happy to be singing (uh-huh) Girl, we got a good thing And I don't see this ending Do you want to fly? Do you want to flee? Do you want to get away with me? Do you want to face the great unknown? Jingle, jingle We're as happy as a couple Hare Krishnas Dancing, twirling, playing on the tambourine We'll crush the scene together Marching onward Oblivious to all the hate around us We could self-publish a book of our philosophy And hand it to the tourists Girl, we got a good thing You know where this is heading (uh-huh) Just a couple lovebirds Happy to be singing (uh-huh) Girl, we got a good thing And I don't see this ending Do you want to fly? Do you want to flee? Do you want to get away with me? Do you want to face the great unknown? Puerto Rico Would be perfect for a destination wedding We'll drive into Ventura on the 101 It sounds like fun, to me You scare me like an open window Let's chalk it up to Stockholm syndrome I want to crawl in, crawl into a hole Girl, we got a good thing You know where this is heading (uh-huh) Just a couple lovebirds Happy to be singing (uh-huh) Girl, we got a good thing And I don't see this ending Do you want to fly? Do you want to flee? Do you want to get away with me? Do you want to face the great unknown?
