How To Be Good
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I could write the book of you
And illustrate the pages
You shouldn't read it
I'm the one that you put down,
It was written in a hurry,
Slipped through your fingers.
I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?
I lay my storms down at your feet
Maybe you'll build a shelter,
Maybe do my heart work for me.
Oh, I kick and scream,
But the job is mine,
So I'll stay by the ocean
You got your own hills to climb.
I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?
And I know that I am full of holes
Still they let me, see on through to the other side.
And the southern cross has got you in her sights.
I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?
Gotta wrap 'em around
Gotta wrap 'em around
Gotta wrap 'em around me...
I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me
