about

sometimes you need to play a song in a bunch of different contexts before you know what it is or what it wants to be.

"Good Egg" continues to be a work in progress. snapshots from the first six months of the song's existence, february - july 2019, presented in chronological order.

---

please forgive me, i fucked up again
i didn't mean to act a fool with your friends
i very nearly pitched a perfect game
but the rain delayed my glory
i almost caught you having fun
but my big, dumb mouth kept on prattling on
giving voice to words that were best
left inside my head

it's not enough to have good intentions
i gotta work to be the best that i can

a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be

the savage ways we get along
the savage things we have said and done
we savor what's been salvaged from
the words we left unspoken
there ain't no way to replace the truth that
you're a foreign city without a map
and i've been walking around
without a sense of where i'm going

all my dreams are all about you
i don't ever wanna live without you

a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be

i never claimed to be a perfect human
all i want is to do right by you, yeah

a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be
