Good News by Summerteeth Lyrics

Someday I'll make you proud
I swear I'll show you all the strength I've found
Just forget all those flaws you saw
We'll keep our voices down
So you won't have to say my name out loud
Please tell me, do you need me at all?

They still call you kid and you hate it but you don't want to admit
You're coming back to face the facts that all your dreams just won't come true
And all your memories fade too soon

Can I be your good news?

They still bring you down; familiar faces you erased when you left this town
They're growing old and staying bored but don't you worry you're still young
And you owe nothing to anyone

Someday I'll make you proud
I swear I'll show you all the strength I've found
Just forget all those flaws you saw
We'll keep our voices down
So you won't have to say my name out loud
Please tell me, do you need me at all?
If I was your shadow, would you ever leave me in the dark?
Come trace the lines across my back to see where the arrow left its mark

Someday I'll make you proud
I swear I'll show you all the strength I've found
Just forget all those flaws you saw
We'll keep our voices down
So you won't have to say my name out loud
Please tell me, do you need me at all?
