Good Thing Going
Blake Cateris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you working on something that just keeps growing
Or does the fire fade when the mind strays
I need someone that's on the same page
And I'm not lonely I'm just alone
I crave solitude like a dog to a bone
It's hard to keep your vision strong
When you feel you're being strung alongHave you got a good thing going?
Are you working on something that just keeps growing
Or does the fire fade when the mind strays
I need someone that's on the same page
I gotta know
I gotta know
Have you got a good thing going?
Are you hungry for something and the sky is the limit
Does your appetite start to reignite
Have you got something to lose
Have you got something to prove
When nothing's going right could you give more of a fight
Does the guilt kick in when apathy wins
It's hard to stop from wearing that frown
When the people you're round just keep dragging you down
Have you got a good thing going?
Are you working on something that just keeps growing
Or does the fire fade when the mind strays
I need someone that's on the same page
I gotta know
I gotta know
You've lost your voice you've lost your crowd
The air in your lungs dies cold your mouth
Dreams of greatness and words profound
Ruined by the faithless and holier than thou
The only thing slowing you downIs the weight on your mind you carry around
You take tomorrow one day at a time
With your head held high and your feet on the ground
Have you got a good thing going?
Are you working on something that just keeps growing
Or does the fire fade when the mind strays
I need someone that's on the same page
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know

The opening lines inquire about whether the listener has something positive and fulfilling in their life that is continuously progressing.
