Good Advice
Texas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open the window I need some air
So many people and there's such disorder here
Familiar faces found out lies
Turn to the street now I watch the passers by
I wonder what they recognize
And what they'd recommend to fill my days
Possessions start to wear me down
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
I'm nervous can you help me
I'm nervous can you help me
I'm nervous can you help me
I'm nervous can you help me

Instead they harbor secret thoughts
They break through windows that have twice been locked
I have to walk to wear me out

I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
I'm nervous can you help me
I'm nervous can you help me
I'm nervous can you help me
I'm nervous can you help me

I throw my arms and pray to leave
I gotta head for love like is inside me
My lips press tight so not to drown

I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
I'm nervous can you help me
I'm nervous can you help me
I'm nervous can you help me
I'm nervous can you help me

Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true





I'm nervous
Give me some good advice to wear me down
