Good News
Ocean Park Standoff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No, this is not a test
Never was, never will be
You can take my best
It's yours, it was never for me
I'm just looking for something to get me outta my seat
Something that's true
What did I do?
'Cause every time I turn around
I'm back down to one
Tell me why it feels like I'm still on the run

I need some good news, baby
Feels like the world's gone crazy
Give me some good news, baby
Give it to me, give it to me
I need some good news, baby
'Cause all the world's gone crazy
I need some good news, baby
Give it to me, give it to me

I've been holding back
When I, I should be falling free, yeah
But it's not having faith
Just believe in what you can't see
And I'm still looking for something to get me outta my seat
Something that's true
What can I do?

'Cause every time I turn around
I'm back down to one
Tell me why it feels like I'm still on the run

I need some good news, baby
Feels like the world's gone crazy
Give me some good news, baby
Give it to me, give it to me
I need some good news, baby
'Cause all the world's gone crazy
I need some good news, baby
Give it to me, give it to me

Give it all or give me up
I won't settle for enough
It's the highs and it's the lows we remember, ooh ooh
Give it all or give me up
I won't settle for enough
It's the highs and it's the lows we remember, remember

I need some good news, baby
Feels like the world's gone crazy
Give me some good news, baby
Give it to me, give it to me
I need some good news, baby
'Cause all the world's gone crazy
I need some good news, baby
Give it to me, give it to me
Give me some good news, baby, oh
I need some good news, baby
Give it to me, give it to me

Give it all or give me up




I won't settle for enough
It's the highs and it's the lows we remember, ooh ooh
