Good Intentions

(album: Smiling Like An Idiot - 2022)

Good intentions
I couldn't hold my tongue
The floodlights in the garage
I could feel the medicine
And you were spinning
But I was standing still
If I tell you that I love you
Oh would that be overkill?

Forever died a while ago
But we might be the last to know
Forever died a while ago
But we might be the last to know

Texas fever
But I have never been
Passed the Carolina state line when my head was giving in
New beginnings
But how was I to know?
Because it never felt like winning when the dice got cold

I'm still nineteen on the Bowery
Losing sleep from things that I can't change
I cry the day I leave New York
That's before I learn your name

Forever died a while ago
But we might be the last to know
Forever died a while ago
But we might be the last to know

We sing "Oh! Darling" in the garden
Play it in the car again
Now don't you go to sleep on me
You know it's only 5am
The engine died, I can't go home
I gave up dreaming on my own
I was not looking for you, my love

Forever died a while ago
But we might be the last to know
Forever died a while ago
But we might be the last to know
Yeah we might be the last to know
And I don't wanna take it slow
Yeah we might be the last to know
