Good Intentions Lyrics by Emily Hackett

By the Sun (EP)

2018

[Verse 1]
I plan on stopping all the talking
And knocking on the doors
Of boys who I know are bad for me
Said I’d quit shopping, dropping
Bank on the clothes that make him wanna buy me a drink
Said I’d quit leaving my car parked behind the bar
But I got towed the second time this week
I watch the ball drop on new years eve
But drop the ball when it comes to me

[Chorus]
Gonna get skinny this year
And I swear that ill stop cursing
Gonna stop drinking this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurring
Between what I say and what I do
When I’m all talk, no followthrough
Well you can’t get rich making penny wishes
Can’t get to heaven
On good intentions

[Verse 2]
Nobody’s perfect, no
But I plan on working
On a version half as good as the girl next door
Have you heard? I’m gonna save the world
I’ll get started when I’m not so poor
I been telling myself it’s the thought that counts
So let me tell ya what I’m thinking about

[Chorus]
Gonna get skinny this year
And I swear that ill stop cursing
Gonna stop drinking this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurring
Between what I say and what I do
When I’m all talk, no followthrough
Well you can’t get rich making penny wishes
Can’t get to heaven
On good intentions

[Bridge]
All bad, bad, bad decisions
Wanna get, get them out of my system
Fix, fix, fix my condition
Ditch the excuses I been givin’
All bad, bad, bad decisions
Wanna get, get them out of my system
Fix, fix, fix my condition
Instead of just sitting here wishin

[Chorus]
Gonna get skinny this year
And I swear that ill stop cursing
Gonna stop drinking this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurring
Between what I say and what I do
When I’m all talk, no followthrough
Well you can’t get rich making penny wishes
Can’t get to heaven
On good intentions
