Tell Me Something Good

from Hello, Good Friend. by The Rocket Summer

/

lyrics

Hey what you got? You don't know anything that I'm gonna say right now. 'Cause I'm not so sure why I'm here or why I want to keep on hanging around right now. Not that I'd do it now or any day, but sometimes I just get bummed out about lots of things and well, just doubt...

So tell me something good. You got it. Why am I so misunderstood?
'Cause I wanna know this.'Cause I'm confused and I do break into,
so tell me how about you? Hey, what you got? Something bad and I want it, even though I know it's wrong. But I won't be blessed yes I know this, so I can't have that,
So like good Job I gotta be strong. But man I don't wanna be able to breath, be able to see what's become of the wars of this world and the wars from my tongue...
So tell me something good. You got it. Why am I so misunderstood?
'Cause I wanna know this, I'm confused and I bruise yes I do so tell me how about you?
So please just tell me something good. You got it. Why am I so misunderstood? 'Cause I wanna know this, come on baby and race me
and maybe we'll just find ourselves... a home.

I wanna be, I wanna be like that mountain. I wanna stand taller and bigger than the rest. See, I just wanna be "it", a guy who wins all the time, I wanna be a big star, a king, and rule my own life, but God, I know that it's wrong so please just make my heart right, inside, and destroy my pride.
So you can tell me something good. You got it. Why I am so misunderstood? 'Cause I wanna know this, I'm confused and do break into so tell me how about you?
So please just tell me something good. You got it. Why am I so misunderstood? 'Cause I wanna know this, come on baby and race me
and maybe we'll just find ourselves...

Hey, what you got, something bad, and I want it, even though I know it's wrong...
