good to you

The Avett Brothers

I know you were needing more of me than I gave
When we heard that your cousin had crashed
And passed away
I hate it when I talk without thinking
I will do what you are needing me to do

I wanna be good to you
I wanna be there for you
And when I come home, will you still want me to?

When your best friend got married I was off and gone
You said it wasn t a problem, that there was nothing wrong
With putting my work, my art, and my songs
Before spending time at the wedding
As I listened over the phone-line
You talked and you sounded so sad
Alone in a room full of strangers
Some dude saying I treat you bad
Who is this guy and what does he know?
Apparently more than I do

I wanna be good to you
I wanna be there for you
And when I come home, will you still want me to?
And when I come home, will you still want me to?

When you were born I promised myself
I d always be there for you
To help you feel safe and never alone
No matter what life put you through
Time passed by, I lost my way, and didn t find it for years
A strong young woman now stands in her place
The child has disappeared
Now that I m home, do you still want me here?

I wanna be good to you
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be good to you
And when I come home, will you still want me to?
And if I come home, will you still want me to?
