Good Life
Sammy Rae Lyrics

The moon has never been so close before
The singer has never felt a celestial body so close and within reach.

I could just reach out, I could take it
The singer feels the desire to attain the moon, acknowledging that it is unrealistic.

Take a bite of it and save it
The singer confronts the absurdity of their desire and imagines a hypothetical scenario of taking a bite of the moon to keep as a memento.

And he′s talking 'bout some stupid sneakers he wore
Another character is paying attention to materialistic possessions, specifically a pair of sneakers.

He said, "I get ′em where they make it Ain't no middle man to fake it"
The other character believes that obtaining a product directly from the source ensures authenticity and quality.

For a couple weeks I could feel it comin', a Couple days I could hear the drummin′, a A tin of mints, and a pack of gum and We′re freshenin' up cause the morning′s comin'
The singer and their companions prepare themselves and anticipate something significant that they have been waiting for, possibly an event or an opportunity.

Bittersweet for the most part bitter It′s one part sweet and it's two parts bitter It′s one part sweet, I think It's one part sweet and it's two parts bitter
The singer reflects on their current situation, describing it as a mixture of both pleasant and unpleasant emotions, but ultimately skewed towards bitterness.

I got a taste of the good life in the middle of the night It was about 4 o′clock on a Friday As in 4 am on Saturday And I got a taste of the good life, I was feelin′ alright And I was in the backseat, it was a long day I was in a taxi on the Cross Island Parkway
The artist experiences a fleeting moment of temporary happiness, feeling content with their current situation in the backseat of a taxi during an early morning ride.

It's the kind of the thing where you can never be sure If it′s for worse or it's for better And it ain′t no laughin' matter He′s been keepin' calm, collected, I'm insecure And it doesn′t matter where he bought it All that matters is he got it
The artist observes how unpredictable life can be, unsure whether their current circumstance will ultimately lead to positive or negative outcomes. They compare their own insecurities to another's calm demeanor, realizing that possessions don't define a person's character.

Couple weeks I could feel it comin′, and a Couple days I could hear the drummin′, and a Tin of mints, and a pack of gum and We′re freshenin' up, the morning's comin′
A repetition of the earlier lines reiterating the anticipation and preparation for an important event.

It′s one part sweet, and I think It's one part sweet a little too bitter
The singer revisits their earlier description of their current situation, now acknowledging that although it contains some pleasantness, the bitterness is still present and may be overpowering.

I got a taste of the good life in the middle of the night It was about 4 o′clock on a Friday And it was too early 'cause it was Saturday I got a taste of the good life, I was feelin′ alright I was in the backseat, it was a long day I was in a taxi on the Cross Island Parkway
The closing lines of the song are a repetition of the earlier description of the artist's brief moment of happiness during an early morning taxi ride, further emphasizing its significance to the artist.
