Good and Bad

Cast your mind

Cast your mind back

To when you didn't have a worry in the world

You had an old car and some bills to pay

But you had the love of a girl

And the evening sun

Shining on her face was all you needed

At the end of the day

When the good times were good

Bad times were miles away

Take a breath

Breathe like it's the last one you'll take

Make a promise to yourself

One you know you're never gonna break

And stand on the edge

Of something much bigger than yourself

And remember the days

When the good times were good

The bad times were tucked away

You know, it's getting harder

Seeing friends and family slowly disappear

The world still turns without 'em

We get on with our lives

Even though it's not the same without them here

They fall like autumn leaves

For them, my heart still grieves

So I paddle out

Into the wild blue

Washing off the world with every stroke

That winter swell is nice and full

And the water wraps around me like a coat

And the memories of her

Makes it easier to lose time and space, yeah

When the good times were good

And the bad times were washed away

Take a look

Take a look in the mirror

At the people that we turned out to be

Is it all you ever wanted?

Or a bitter disappointment you see?

Have you lived a full life?

Are you happy with the roles that we played?

Everyday

When the good times were good

Bad times come what may

When the good times are good

The bad times often fade
