Good Son Lyrics by OneRepublic

2004

[Verse 1]
She dreams in black and white
The shades are not just there
And he trades his days for nights
And colors everywhere
And who could say but he'd even really care?

[Verse 2]
They search for silver spoons
But all they want is bread
But she came too far to lose
She'll fight for what she gets
That’s all that really matters in the end

[Chorus]
When you believe in love
Even if it’s unknown
When it’s okay, you’re the good son
So put to rest your fears
You made it through the years
And it’s okay, yeah it’s okay
Yeah, good son

[Verse 3]
Yeah, intoxicating so
Your name is generous
There’s no burden you can’t hold
You’ll live for nothing less
And now you’re tryna figure what comes next

[Chorus]
When you believe in love
Even if it’s unknown
When it’s okay, you’re the good son
So put to rest your fears
You made it through the years
And it’s okay, yeah it’s okay
Yeah

[Bridge]
The same old thing but I feel I’m coming ‘round
The same old thing but I feel I’m coming ‘round

[Chorus]
When you believe in love
Even if it’s unknown
When it’s okay, you’re the good son
So put to rest your fears
You made it through the years
And it’s okay, yeah it’s okay
You believe in love
Even if it’s unknown
When it’s okay, you’re the good son
And put to rest your fears
You made it through the years
And, it’s okay, yeah it’s okay
It’s okay, good son

[Outro]
You’re the good son (Ahh-ahn-ahh)
