All The Good Things
Imperial Mammoth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we stay here
In a still dream
Where the fan blows
Soft and cool on everything
All the sharp pains
Of a new day
They don't seem so
Hard to take when I'm around

All the good things about you
All the good things about you

I get sick with
Keeping up sometimes
I get sad too
But never once when I'm around

All the good things about you
All the good things about you

They will offer
Poison apples
They can't make us
Choke on them

Can we stay here
In a still dream
Let the white noise
Calm and blanket everything

All the good things about you
All the good things about you

All the good things about you
All the good things about you
