Bryan Rice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the moment
Back with a better view
Not a clue where I'm going
But going all out for you
Tomorrow's not promised's what the wise man used to say
So let's seize each day
So nice like I told you, when I hold you
It's like falling in love for the first time
Like waking up fresh in the sunshine
Like having nothing to lose
Baby you're good news, good news
Like dancing all night 'til the light's gone
Like singing along to your favourite song
It never gets old with you, baby you're good news, good news
You can come as you like
As you want to
Love's a revolving door
Let it spin, let me want you
Want to come back for more
Now easily we could be madly in lust for life
Oh baby why ask why?
No ties we're just happy go lucky don't blow the surprise, yeah
No lies like I told you, when I hold you it's like
Falling in love for the first time
Like waking up fresh in the sunshine
Like having nothing to lose
Baby you're good news, good news
Like dancing all night 'til the light's gone
Like singing along to your favourite song
It never gets old with you, you're good news, good news
Ohhh if you love something you've got to let it go
If it comes back it's yours
And it means that much more
It's like falling in love for the first time
Like waking up fresh in the sunshine
Like having nothing to lose
Baby you're good news, good news
Like dancing all night 'til the light's gone
Like singing along to your favourite song
It never gets old with you, baby you're good news, good news
And it means that much more
Like having nothing to lose
Baby you're good good news
Like dancing all night 'til the light's gone
Like singing along to your favourite song
It never gets old with you, baby you're good news, good news
