Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

Good To You

I know you were needing more of me than I gave

when we heard that your cousin had crashed and passed away

I hate it when I talk without thinking

I will do what you are needing me to do

I wanna be good to you

I wanna be there for you

And when I come home, will you still want me to?

When your best friend got married I was off and gone

You said it wasn't a problem, that there was nothing wrong

with putting my work, my art, and my songs

before spending time at the wedding

As I listened over the phone-line, you talked and you sounded so sad

Alone in a room full of strangers, some dude saying I treat you bad

Who is this guy and what does he know?

Apparently more than I do

I wanna be good to you

I wanna be there for you

And when I come home, will you still want me to?

And when I come home, will you still want me to?

When you were born I promised myself I'd always be there for you

To help you feel safe and never alone, no matter what life put you through

Time passed by, I lost my way, and didn't find it for years

A strong young woman now stands in her place

The child has disappeared

Now that I'm home, do you still want me here?

I wanna be good to you

I wanna be there for you

I wanna be good to you

And when I come home, will you still want me to?

And if I come home, will you still want me to?
