Good Times
seraphs coal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm wondering
Why good times often go bad
With every opportunity we've had
To make it clear
Your the only one I want
To be with when all's been said and been done
I want good times
I'm not cut out for pessimism
Dreaming's the release I'm needing
And all I dream is you
With nothing left to do
We'll be hanging out tonight
It's never felt so right-
I want good times.
Why can't we be
Like the couples in the movies
Kissing as the world around us burns
It's not quite queer
But something doesn't feel so right
About working every day and every night.
Why can't we be
Just you and me alone
The night is ours




But work starts up again in five more hours.
I want good times...
