lyrics
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
i’ve been walking around without a
sense of where i’m goin’
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
