lyrics
it was good
good to see you again
good to meet your girlfriend
i’ll try not to wonder where you are
when you go outside to kiss her
in the front seat of your car
it is good
good to be back home
how i missed this time zone
strangers are exciting
their mystery never ends
but there’s nothing like looking
at your own history
in the faces of your friends
it’s bad
to have eyes like neon signs
flashing open, open, open...
all the time
it’s bad
that i wrapped you in a fantasy
and that i carry you with me
but lately it seems like everybody
is joined at the hip
and i’m still fancy
oh, i’m so fancy
fancy free
sometimes the beauty is easy
sometimes you don’t have to try at all
sometimes you can hear the wind blow
in a handshake
sometimes there’s poetry written right
on a bathroom wall
and it’s bad
that i took that second look
i guess i’m an open book
you know i really didn’t intend
to embrace you that long
but then again i noticed
i wasn’t the only one hanging on
good to see you again
good to meet your girlfriend
i’ll try not to wonder where you are
when you go outside to kiss her
in the front seat of your car
it is good
good to be back home
how i missed this time zone
strangers are exciting
their mystery never ends
but there’s nothing like looking
at your own history
in the faces of your friends
it’s bad
to have eyes like neon signs
flashing open, open, open...
all the time
it’s bad
that i wrapped you in a fantasy
and that i carry you with me
but lately it seems like everybody
is joined at the hip
and i’m still fancy
oh, i’m so fancy
fancy free
sometimes the beauty is easy
sometimes you don’t have to try at all
sometimes you can hear the wind blow
in a handshake
sometimes there’s poetry written right
on a bathroom wall
and it’s bad
that i took that second look
i guess i’m an open book
you know i really didn’t intend
to embrace you that long
but then again i noticed
i wasn’t the only one hanging on
