Good Guy Drift
by Scott Muir
Lyrics
Verse 1
He wore that pain like rain
Every day, same face
Women said, “You’re good, man”
He just looked away
He laughed with tired eyes
Held the hurt so tight
And when they asked him why
He couldn’t name the night
Pre-Chorus
He tried to speak
But the words fell down
He tried to stay
But he drifted out
Chorus
Good guy, good guy
Why you go so far?
Good guy, good guy
You were breaking apart
Good guy, good guy
We should have seen it too
Good guy, good guy
What the dark can do
Verse 2
Morning by the water
Still and hard and cold
Someone called his name out
But the silence told
A shirt on the shoreline
A world too late
Everybody crying
At the iron gate
Pre-Chorus
He tried to speak
But the words fell down
He tried to stay
But he drifted out
Chorus
Good guy, good guy
Why you go so far?
Good guy, good guy
You were breaking apart
Good guy, good guy
We should have seen it too
Good guy, good guy
What the dark can do
Bridge
If your heart gets heavy
If your room gets cold
Tell somebody, baby
Don’t carry it alone
Reach for a hand now
Hold on to the light
There’s still a tomorrow
Even after night
Final Chorus
Good guy, good guy
Why you go so far?
Good guy, good guy
You were breaking apart
Good guy, good guy
We should have seen it too
Good guy, good guy
Please let somebody hold you
