Song Mood

One of the reasons I love music is because no matter how you feel, there is a song that describes it exactly. And that reminds me that, no matter what, someone else has already gone through what you’ve been through, good or bad. Here’s the lyrics to “Goodnight, Good Guy” by Collective Soul which are a good reflection on my mood right now.

Somebody told me about a worn out distraction

That I had let slip away.

Then it comes back and it rides my shoulders

And it burdens me every new day.

Well I’ll just sit here like a slow burnout

And try to figure how to do without,

Without you…

 

[Chorus]

Who’s going to straighten me up

When I’m leaning?

Who’s going to soothe my heart

When it’s burning?

Who’s going to be the one

To tell me everything’s alright?

Well, goodnight, good guy.

 

I’ll break the bread of a new day and wonder

If faith will carry me along

But days are longer as my heart gets weaker

And I can only stay so strong

Well I’ll just sit here like a wounded soul

Who’s finding it difficult to just let go

Let it go…

 

[Chorus]

 

Well I’m going to let you sleep

I’ll let you fade off in the night

I pray the Lord to keep

I pray the Lord to hold you tight

Goodnight
