GOOD ONES

Sweet surrender

Fill my lungs, send my body to the stars

It's late in the summer

And I'm floating on the grass

Let the blood rush to my head

And baby, I'm gone

Graceless wonder

Heaven knows only the good ones are called home

So I stay a sinner

Swear with one hand on a bible

I'm lying through my teeth

That I ain't been

Dancing with the devil and swinging in step

Stealing drags from my friend's cigarettes

Driving too fast on these small town roads

Letting everybody in way too close

Oh I'm drinking from the fountain of youth only to get drunk

And at this point we're all pretty fucked up

So write me off as bad and gone

Cause heaven only knows they call the good ones home

Waiting for you

Am I a fool to think someday we'll reunite

So I lay at your headstone

I got one hand on a photo from that late September night

And I've been dancing with the devil and swinging in step

Stealing drags from my friend's cigarettes

Driving too fast on these small town roads

Letting everybody in way too close

Oh I'm drinking from the fountain of youth only to get drunk

And at this point we're all pretty fucked up

So write me off as bad and gone

Cause heaven only knows they call

The good ones home

Well I've been trying to keep my head above water man

Won't someone teach me to swim

Treading circles for a while, arms getting tired

Least I'm in it with most of my friends

La la, la de da de da, la de da de da

La la, la la de da, da de da

La la, la de da de da, la de da de da

La la, la la de da, da de da
