The Good by Grover Anderson Lyrics

One day, the ocean’s gonna rise up and drown everybody in New York and California
One day, the left and the right are gonna start another civil war
One day, the sun’s gonna increase in size til it swallows the earth
So what’s the good in worrying about her?

One, the flowers you bought will decay inside a landfill
The tree you carved your names into will burn down into ash
In time, your memories at Yellowstone will be a volcanic crater
So what’s the good in worrying about that?

If she says she’s gone then she’s gone
Good luck trying to change a woman’s mind
You may think yourself strong
But what’s your heartache to time?

What if the tectonic plate you live on becomes an island
Then an electromagnetic pulse puts the planes and ships to ground?
You’d waste your life on a raft praying currents took you to her
So what’s the good in wasting it now?

If she says she’s gone then she’s gone
Good luck trying to change a woman’s mind
You may think yourself strong
But what’s your heartache to time?
One day, you’re gonna feel the fool for this mighty depth of feeling
But even the sharpest pain hold a little bit of worth
In time, every mistake will have only made you better
And there’s the good in worrying about her
