Good Man
Teeth & Tongue Lyrics

Truth
An openness to believe even when the reality is harsh and difficult to fathom

It makes me want to wish to believe
The implications of truths can be overwhelming, but there's still a longing to understand the world as it is

The water comes up when you run the right path
When you work hard and persevere, life follows the path you set for yourself

Or the one that comes within the dark
Sometimes being vulnerable and exploring darker areas can lead to self-discovery and opportunities

And comes and finds you
Life presents new opportunities and sometimes helps you in ways you would never otherwise expect

All of my tricks
Despite attempting to overcome challenges and obstacles, things don't always work out

They're nothing in the face of this
Some truths are inescapable, no matter how clever or prepared you might be

Or the water when you're running around
In difficult times, running in circles will only lead to getting lost and drowning in problems

But it's easier now
Sometimes life throws unexpected opportunities and things start to fall in place

You're on your own
At times people have to bear things on their own

Look what you've done
Being reflective is important in order to learn from one's past experiences

Why'd you give up the
Sometimes people don't notice the blessing they have had in life until too late

Love love love love love love love
The depth of relationships and its impact on life

of a good good good good good
The warmth and support of a loved one in one's life

man
A representation of a loving partner

I'll never understand
The effect and emotions of the person can never fully fathom the emotions and depth of the relationship with the loved one

I wanna see I wanna be a bright light
Full of hope and positivity to inspire others

I wanna do a hundred things just life
The zeal to accomplish and make the most of life

I could'nt touch him how he needs to be touched
Unable to provide the emotional support that a loved one needs

Well I either didn't never he needs too much
Perhaps out of fear or a lack of understanding, some partners struggle to offer the level of closeness and support that their partner needs

See the darkness coming my way
When tough times are coming, being aware and thinking ahead is important

I recognize the shades of black and gray
In difficult situations or emotions, life isn't inherently black and white

I won't speak I won't talk I won't lie
Sometimes it's better to speak less and avoid getting tangled in dishonesty

Cause I couldn't quite explain that if I tried
In complex or emotionally fraught situations, words often fail to communicate true feelings

Oh, I don't know
In the depths of confusion and uncertainty, clarity and answers can be hard to come by

Oh, why you give up the love
When things are going well, it can be hard to see or fully appreciate the positive things in one's life, until it's too late

Love of a good man
The warmth and support of a loving, caring man

Hey, I'll never understand
Loving someone or having someone's love for oneself doesn't mean that every aspect about their perspectives and feelings will be understood

I wouldn't lost you if I was much younger
Sometimes people have regrets surrounding the relationships they didn't pursue or the time they spent with those they love

And I would've lost you if I were much older
The opposite can be true as well, as relationships that end may be harder to accept the older one gets

I've gone and I've gone
Living a full and active life, always moving and striving for new experiences

All the things that I've done
Reflecting on the choices and decisions that have led to where one is in life

Well I wear them all
One carries their past with them, cause they are shaped by their experiences

But I do regret summer
Despite the importance of one's past, certain mistakes or failures can be the source of lasting regrets

I've gone and I've brought all my eyes in a basket
Live life fully and experience the world in many perspectives even if they have to carry those perspectives with them like a burden

I've rode through these cities in my wooden casket
Regardless of how one has lived their life, a common outcome is death

And you were alive and I was the sand
Feeling small or unimportant compared to someone else who may be loved more by another person

Well I'd give the change if there was enough to go around
One wishes to offer the world their love, kindness and insight as much one can if they have enough time or resources to do so
