good one
Searching for Love in a Twenty-Something World
Lyrics
Hey nice to meet you
Introduction and greeting someone new.
What's your name?
Inquiring about the person's name.
Guess it doesn't matter
Expressing indifference towards the importance of the name.
It is all the same
Suggesting that names are interchangeable or irrelevant.
And so for tonight
Setting the context for a temporary, pretend relationship.
Let's just pretend
Proposing to act as if the encounter is more significant than it might be.
You won't forget me
Hoping to leave a lasting impression.
By next weekend
Anticipating that the memory might fade quickly.
So I cross my heart and hope that I don´t die
Expressing a commitment to the moment and a desire for survival.
Are there any left of the good ones?
Pondering the existence of morally upright and genuine individuals.
The not-cheating-really-nice ones?
Specifically seeking those who are loyal and genuinely nice.
Sick of being twenty something
Feeling discontent with the challenges of being in the twenties.
Pour my heart all into nothing
Expressing frustration at investing emotions without significant returns.
And all kinds of cheap un-loving
Alluding to shallow and insincere forms of affection.
I´ll be looking for a good one
Reaffirming the quest for a genuinely good partner.
I´ll be looking for a good one
Reiterating the search for an authentic and sincere companion.
I´ll be looking for a
Continuing the emphasis on the search for a good partner.
I´ll be looking for a
-I´ll be looking for a
-Good one
Stating the ultimate goal is finding a "good one."
Say that I'm your only
Requesting exclusivity in the relationship.
And no one has know
Advocating for secrecy in the relationship.
It will be our secret
Highlighting the confidential nature of the connection.
Keep it on the low
Emphasizing the need to keep the relationship discreet.
And all the sweet lies
Referring to the common, pleasant lies exchanged in relationships.
We have heard before
Suggesting the familiarity of deceptive words in relationships.
While he is moving on
Observing the transition of a partner to someone else.
To the girl next door
Indicating the partner's move to a neighboring romantic interest.
So I cross my heart and hope that I don´t die
Reiterating the commitment to the moment and a desire for survival.
Are there any left of the good ones?
Repeating the query about the existence of morally upright individuals.
The not-cheating-really-nice ones?
Continuing the search for loyal and genuinely nice individuals.
Sick of being twenty something
Reiterating discontent with the challenges of being in the twenties.
Pour my heart all into nothing
Reiterating frustration at investing emotions without significant returns.
And all the kinds of cheap un-loving
Reiterating the reference to shallow and insincere forms of affection.
I´ll be looking for a good one
Reaffirming the quest for a genuinely good partner.
I´ll be looking for a good one
Reiterating the search for an authentic and sincere companion.
I´ll be looking for a
Continuing the emphasis on the search for a good partner.
I´ll be looking for a
-I´ll be looking for a
-Good one
Stating the ultimate goal is finding a "good one."
Sick of being twenty something
Summarizing discontent, frustration, and the search for a genuine partner.
Pour my heart all into nothing
-And all kinds of cheap un-loving
-I´ll be looking for a good one
Reaffirming the quest for a genuinely good partner.
I´ll be looking for a good one
Reiterating the search for an authentic and sincere companion.
I´ll be looking for a
Continuing the emphasis on the search for a good partner.
I´ll be looking for a
-I´ll be looking for a
-Good one
Stating the ultimate goal is finding a "good one."
