some good thing

think of this heart as an old accident

a hardened hit and run

looking ahead but just a little scared

to keep all eyes on the road

can you be sure

will this be some good thing

lucky stars to reckon appear again and again

can you believe all that has brought you here

you say come on baby let's go ahead and live

who ever knows if love's a sleight of hand

will it hold up to the light

and do you ever stop unravelling a happy end

with a mind still wound up from a fight

can it be real

will it be some good thing

weathering the fortunes

what those stars are gonna bring

will it stay true

will we both see the whole thing true

you say come on baby let's go ahead and love

bird on a wire or heart in your hand

looking for a place to find some rest

if you batten it down it's not living at all

leaving's just a different kind of death

could you believe

will this be some good thing

a place to lay your head down

and the will to look again

could it be true

will we both see the whole thing true

you say come on baby let's go ahead

come on baby let's go ahead

come baby let's go ahead and live
