Good For You

by Dessa

1.
HOOK I think I could be good for you I think you’re overlooking your best move I think I could be good for you Somewhere beneath the surface you do too. VERSE 1 My lipstick on a candy cigarette bored backstage in Boston if you say so, it’s only innocent But I can feel that you’re watching. Cause sometimes when it’s late you get careless the bourbon gives you away and the veil lifts. I don’t bring this up lightly don’t you think that I might be someone you can’t forget? But if you don’t think that there’s lightning at the end of the kite string I don’t need another friend. HOOK VERSE 2 Bar close night’s over, but I guess they still let you smoke here you should go home now with the rest, but your coat’s on my shoulders. No one gets to take both roads; you solve for exes and unknowns decide what to keep and who to release I’m here with fog in my locket your name in my teeth. Patience is no virtue for saints out after curfew we should chance it, I can’t stand inertia won’t get parachute rehearsals— fall for me. Tell me it’s not what you wanted, honestly? HOOK Aren’t you tired of the upper hand don’t you want a girl to make you try a little now and then I’m the one who’s talking to you now don’t you want to find out if you could win a bigger bet I know I’m one of a hundred you could call like it’s nothing but not every dime can play dozens that’s gotta say something— not every match gets met. HOOK
