Good Thing Lyrics by Jake Etheridge

Only Everything EP

2018

[Verse 1]
If you follow me home
I'm afraid, my dear, that I'll just fuck it up
See, the kitchen's all a mess
And there's no furniture or glasses to speak of
And I know love is not a fairy tale
It's just something we're making up

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'll pretend I can hear what you're saying
Over cars and crowded bars and trains, yeah
Smile and nod when you look my way

[Chorus]
But every 'hey, how you doing?'
Is just a brand new chance to ruin a good thing
And every silver lining's just a trick of the light, another 'could be'
But it won't be 'cause I know me

[Verse 2]
So I should probably say 'hello'
Before I go and lose my place in line
To some charming motherfucker
With a future whiskey-knee and suit and tie
So catch my breath, here I go
A slightly drunk Geronimo, but I'll try, I'll try

[Pre-Chorus]
To pretend I can hear what you're saying
Over this crowded bar of empty conversations
Smile and nod when you look my way 'cause

[Chorus]
Every 'hey, how you doing?'
Is just a brand new chance to ruin a good thing, oh a good thing
And every silver lining's just a trick of the light, another 'could be'
But it won't be 'cause I know me

[Outro]
Every silver lining's just a trick of the light, another 'could be'
But it won't be, I know me
So if you follow me home
I'm afraid, my dear, that I'll just fuck it up
