lyrics

Something Good
©2003 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

I'm quietly asking for SOMETHING GOOD
You knew that I would
I'm quietly searching for a recipe
It's the devil in me
I keep searching
I keep searching

CHORUS
If you finally got what you never had
I got a feeling you might throw it all back
Throw it all back
Like a fish on a line
Like a bird on a wire
The thing that keeps us alive
Is an unmet desire

I'm not indestructible - I'm made of straw
I burn at the stake
I'm way too combustible and after all
It's my fatal flaw
I keep burning
I keep burning

CHORUS

I'm quietly asking for SOMETHING GOOD
You knew that I would
I'm quietly searching for a loaded gun
To shoot at the sun
I keep searching
I keep searching

CHORUS

I'm quietly asking for SOMETHING GOOD
For SOMETHING GOOD
For SOMETHING GOOD
For SOMETHING GOOD
