A Good Day
OOHYO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Singing every day every night
every dream
Looking like a ghost waiting
for a small retreat
Scratch that you really want
that kind of life

People watching on a bench
somewhere out of town
Kicking back the soccer balls
for the little guys
Hey missy
lets get some time out
for you now

I ain't got the guts
got the strength got the time
That's all u gotta say to love
that has just arrived
No one's stopping
you any way any how
There's always something more
something else something left
To consume to the best
of your interest
Life's long everlasting
in the end
When it's only about you

While the world clings to
what's new
Newest way to think
Newest way to love
Newest way to see yourself
I cry in the middle of the night
I slowly drift away
Hidin' my face
From the shadow of the shame
Looming over everything
that ever was
Meant to be loved

Softening my voice
Never looking in the eye
I walk away from all
that promises a good time
A good day a good life
that's all they want
It's in the air we breathe
everything that hurts us
I tiptoe pass the ghosts
that keep on telling us
life's long everlasting




in the end
And it's only about you

Singing every day every night
every dream,
Looking like a ghost
waiting for a small retreat,
Scratch that, you really want
that kind of life?

People watching on a bench
somewhere out of town,
Kicking back the soccer balls
for the little guys,
Hey missy,
lets get some time out for you now

‘I ain’t got the guts got the strength
got the time’
That’s all u gotta say to love
that has just arrived
No one’s stopping you
any way any how
There’s always something more
something else something left
To consume to the best of your interest
Life’s long everlasting in the end
When it’s only about you

While the world clings to what’s new,
Newest way to think, Newest way to love,
Newest way to see yourself
I cry, in the middle of the night
I slowly drift away
Hidin’ my face
From the shadow of the shame
Looming over everything that ever was
Meant to be loved

Softening my voice
Never looking in the eye
I walk away from all
that promises a good time
A good day a good life
that’s all they want
It’s in the air we breathe
everything that hurts us
I tiptoe pass the ghosts
that keep on telling us
‘life’s long everlasting in the end,’
‘And it’s only about you’

우효씨 노래듣고 며칠 충격이네요. 제가 학창시절좋아했던 일본여성보컬밴드브릴리언트그린 느낌도나고요. 영국브릿소울도나서 프로필보니 런던시티 유학파더군요. 천재에요..이런감성 너무 개취입니다ㅜㅜ
