Lyrics
Good News
Introduction to the theme of the song: "Good News."
It really was a good night,
Recollection of a positive night experience.
And we were drinking on.
Continuation of the positive night, possibly with alcohol involved.
It really was a cold night,
Description of the cold atmosphere during the memorable night.
And we were dreaming on.
Emphasis on the act of dreaming during this cold night.
I was rambling on and on
The singer talking continuously, possibly about their songs.
About the songs I made,
Elaboration on the content of the rambling—discussing songs created.
But you walked away.
Noted departure of someone as the singer was speaking.
I think I said something when you
Recollection of saying something when the other person took the singer's phone.
Grabbed my phone and you heard what's up,
Reference to the other person learning about something important.
And you
Empty line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection.
And you were all in,
Confirmation of the other person's full involvement in the situation.
I can't imagine better news.
Expression of joy or satisfaction with the news received.
Good news, give me more of that
Repetition of the phrase "Good news," expressing a desire for more positive information.
(x2)
Repetition for emphasis.
We were kids back then,
Reflection on the past when both individuals were younger.
But we're older now.
Acknowledgment of the passage of time and aging.
I'm not just gonna stay here
Decision not to settle for a mundane or unexciting life.
And have a boring life.
Declaration of intent to avoid a monotonous existence.
And we've been working day and night,
Statement about putting in effort day and night to achieve goals.
Just to get things done,
Clarification that the hard work is aimed at accomplishing tasks.
Just to get things right.
Emphasis on the pursuit of correctness or success in their endeavors.
I think I said something when you

Grabbed my phone and you heard what's up,

And you

And you were all in,
Reiteration of the other person's complete involvement and the singer's positive response.

Good news, give me more of that
