You're The Good Things
Discovering Authentic Connection: 'You're The Good Things' Meaning
Lyrics
You're an island in a sea of bullshit
You provide stability and authenticity in a chaotic environment.
And I never want to leave
I have no desire to be away from you.
But do we misconceive?
Are we misunderstanding something?
You're the icing on my ration cake
You bring joy to my otherwise mundane existence.
'Cuz you're strange but never fake
Your uniqueness is genuine, not artificial.
Could this be our escape?
Could our connection be a means of escaping difficulties?
We are angry and frightened
We experience anger and fear, but our shared communication eases the burden.
But the burden is lightened
Our emotional load is lightened when we talk, especially over the phone.
When we're talking on the phone
Our conversations bring relief.
Or rocking to the tone of not being alone, love
Together, we find comfort in the music, knowing we are not alone.
Don't want to ask too much of you
I'm hesitant to impose too much on you.
Don't always follow through, follow through
I don't always fulfill my commitments to you.
Don't always follow through
I struggle with consistency in my actions.
You're a short walk on a long pier
You're a brief pleasure in a long journey.
'Cuz there's so much more here to explore, dear
There's much more to discover in our relationship.
Am I shifting the right gear?
Am I making the right decisions in our relationship?
You're a dandelion seed flying through smog
You're a delicate presence in a polluted atmosphere.
And I'm whining like a dog
I complain, but you endure my flaws like a loyal companion.
How do you put up with me?
How do you tolerate my shortcomings?
We are angry and frightened
We face challenges, but talking helps lighten the emotional load.
But the burden is lightened
Communication is our solace in difficult times.
When we're talking on the phone
Our connection remains strong during conversations, alleviating our worries.
Or rocking to the tone of not being alone, love
Music reinforces our sense of togetherness.
Don't want to ask too much of you
I'm cautious not to burden you too much.
We're so fed up with hollow cues
We're frustrated with insincere signals from others.
Don't always follow through, follow through
I struggle with consistent follow-through in our relationship.
