George Bailey

(album: Goldenboy - 2021)

Is this all
Is this all it's gonna be?
Grew inside you like a weed
And you didn't notice
All at once
Wasn't really all at once
Like the scream that's welling up
It takes over

You had to push it past the edge
And pieces are all that's left

Tell me
Is this all you thought that you wanted?
You danced among your demons
'Til you called on my door
Think you know what you're asking for
Now there's a different devil standing at the door
And when it started all you wanted was more

You can't hide
When your story lines collide
And all your secrets come to light and there's no end in sight
You didn't know
This was where this thing would go
And now you're begging "Take me home"
Like George Bailey cried

And you here at the great divide
Can see it was all a lie

Tell me
Is this all you thought that you wanted?
You danced among your demons
'Til you called on my door
Think you know what you're asking for
Now there's a different devil standing at the door
And when it started all you wanted was more

What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?

What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?
What did you think was gonna happen?

Tell me
Is this all you thought that you wanted?
You danced among your demons
'Til you called on my door
Think you know what you're asking for
Now there's a different devil standing at the door
And when it started all I wanted was more
