Not Really Good
Eyeshine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About telling everyone that I've got it all figured out
Responsibility is not my bag of tea
Give me some of that and I'll just turn and run away
('Cause) But it's just like the way you are
To lift me up when I've gone too far away
Patch my fears and all of my scars
Help me to see, to feel, your love is real
Help me to see, to feel, your love is real
You're the one that always calls my bluff
And your information seems to keep me from wearing out
If I'm in the dark, I know you're there with me
Guiding every step I take in your liberty
'Cause it's just like the way you are
To lift me up when I've gone too far away
Patch my fears and all of my scars
It's just you and me
Help me to see, to feel, your love is real
Help me to see, to feel, your love is real
Yeah...

I'm not really good at all this stuff
I lack proficiency in aspects of life, including communicating that I possess all the answers
About telling everyone that I've got it all figured out
Conveying that I am fully enlightened is a struggle for me
Responsibility is not my bag of tea
The concept of accountability is not my preferred area of focus
Give me some of that and I'll just turn and run away
I will avoid it if confronted with personal responsibility
But it's just like the way you are
It mirrors your conduct
To lift me up when I've gone too far away
You help me when I'm too far gone
Patch my fears and all of my scars
You cover up my worries and physical injuries
It's just you and me
Everything comes down to our relationship
Help me to see, to feel, your love is real
Assist me in realizing and experiencing that your love for me exists
You're the one that always calls my bluff
You are the individual who continually sees through my deceptions
And your information seems to keep me from wearing out
The knowledge you give me allows me to maintain my strength and vigor
If I'm in the dark, I know you're there with me
If I am uninformed, I am aware you remain by my side
Guiding every step I take in your liberty
Directing every move I make in your freedom
Yeah...
