Gonna Be Good
Matt Wertz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

? or think about what
You're gonna do about it
Nothing's gonna change on its own
?
Maybe that's life trying to tell you something
But it won't take too long
You would see it's not long
I wanna see you what you're made of
Get up and fight you know you should
Try there's nothing you should be afraid of
I'd take your place if I could
To stay safer it's gonna be good

I think about this
What if all your plans just feel right in the place
Would you be better then?
Was it the brokenness that builds you
The emptiness that fills you
Or the times you could get away
Let that trouble have its way

I wanna see you what you're made of
Get up and fight you know you should
Try there's nothing you should be afraid of
I'd take your place if I could
To stay safer it's gonna be good

It's gotta get worse before it gets better
I know it ain't easy nor need it should
Know how to wait and what you have to do
Come into the city, buildings are falling
Listen to the crowd, angels calling out to you
To bring you through, to bring you through
To bring you through

I wanna see you what you're made of
Get up and fight you know you should
Try there's nothing you should be afraid of
I'd take your place if I could
To stay safer it's gonna be good

I wanna see you what you're made of
Get up and fight you know you should, oh should
Try there's nothing you should be afraid of
I'd take your place if I could
To stay safer it's gonna be good
To stay safer it's gonna be good
To stay safer it's gonna be good




(I wanna see you what you're made of)
(I wanna see you what you're made of)

First you notice
Then you ask her name
Then you get her number
Call her up the next day

You start to wonder if she feels the same
Second guessing every word you say
Not even rolling but you hit the brakes
Why do my beginnings always end this way?

Making easy things hard
Why'm I always making easy things hard?
Ain't complicated when you follow your heart
Why'm I always making easy things hard?

Do you think about her
When she's not around?
Are you better with her
Than you are without?

Is it too soon to want to say those words?
Is it deep enough to go head first?
Afraid to go so far you can't reverse
Should I take a chance and see if this thing works?

Making easy things hard
Why'm I always making easy things hard?
Ain't complicated when you follow your heart
Why'm I always making easy things hard?

Nobody knows
How these things have to go
You'll know when you know
Until then, let it go

Making easy things hard
Why'm I always making easy things hard?
Ain't complicated when you follow your heart
Why'm I always making easy things hard?

Making easy things hard
Why'm I always making easy things hard?
Ain't complicated when you follow your heart
Why'm I always making easy things hard?
