THE WALLFLOWERS - How Good It Can Get
Slow down
Youre breaking up
Use your words
Dont yell so much
I dont understand a word
That youre saying
Now move in
Come up close
You look like
Youve maybe seen a ghost
Tell me
Has someone gotten to you baby
Now open your arms
Pick up your head
Open your eyes
So you can see
What happens next
You wont believe
Just how good it can get
Well make a lover
Out of you yet
The fog
I cant see my hands
It got much worse
Soon as I got in
And I know youre somewhere
Here in the water
Its ten feet deep
And the river wont stop
Ill tell you whats in it
When I make it across
You could make it too
If you let someone help you
But you gotta give in
And you gotta let go
Then you can begin
To come up slow
Like a desert rose
[chorus]
Take a deep breath
And hold it in tight
And put your face up
Right into the light
Cant you feel that full moon
Shining down on you
Help is coming
From the great unknown
Just maybe not
When you needed it most
Cause I can see you already
Know that youre leaving
But I wish youd stay
And just let me in
Cause everything can change
But you gotta be ready
Cause you wont know when
[chorus]
