Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I try stay off my phone, I think it hurts me
A million drops of pain in light and sound
So why, oh, why do I just sit here watching?
I don't know
I don't know
[Verse 2]
My therapist is writing something down
Tell me what you know
Can I take it with me when I walk around?
There's a swirly, whirly, unforgiving sound
That rings out
That rings out
[Verse 3]
And the bad man stood on his box
He yelled pure chaos, I can't even watch
If it's all too bleak, keep looking at me
I don't know a thing, I just stand here and sing
Can the love, love keep us together?
Should I throw my fucking phone in the ocean forever?
Am I something good?
Am I something good?
Are you something good?
Am I something good, good, good, good, good, good, good?
[Verse 4]
I saw a child walking with a sign
Said climb all you like, the water's rising, no one will stay dry
And there were thousands of them walking side by side
Like sunflowers
Like sunflowers
[Verse 5]
The fire burned the trees from inside out
I looked away and back, a child in a mask sitting on the ground
With a lump in my throat, I looked out
There's no flowers
But it's greener now
[Verse 6]
And the bad man stood on his box
He yelled pure chaos, I can't even watch
If it's all too bleak, keep looking at me
I don't know a thing, I just stand here and sing
Can the love, love keep us together?
Should I throw my fucking phone in the ocean forever?
Am I something good?
Am I something good?
Are you something good?
Am I something good, good, good, good, good, good, good?
[Verse 7]
So tell me something good if you know it
If you know, if you know, if you know
If put out my hand would you hold it?
Would you, would you, would you?
Tell me something good if you know it
If you know, if you know, if you know
If put out my hand would you hold it?
Would you, would you, would you?
Tell me something good if you know it
If you know, if you know, if you know
If put out my hand would you hold it?
Would you, would you, would you?
[Verse 8]
On Christmas Day in Nashville city, a man blew up a whole street
Imagine the terror, feel how it would feel
To run from your home and have it all disappear
But it wasn't called terror, it's again and again
It was barely on the news, it got bumped for the weather
Where is something good?
Where is something good?
Where is something good?
Where is something good, good, good, good, good, good, good?
[Verse 9]
When it's late at night and I'm driving
There's fighting in my head, it won't go quiet
I tell my dad I'm not doing alright
And we stay on the phone till we're so, so tired
Can that love keep us together?
All the concrete, all the ghosts, all the inclement weather
Tell me something good
Tell me something good
Tell me something good
Tell me something
[Verse 10]
The bad man stood on his box
He yelled pure chaos, I can't even watch
If it's all too bleak, keep looking at me
I don't know a thing, I just stand here and sing
Can the love, love keep us together?
Should I throw my fucking phone in the ocean forever?
Am I something good?
Am I something good?
Are you something good?
Am I something good, good, good, good, good, good, good?
