Good News First

"Dear survivors and future survivors
I think we make our own kind of hell
and if you're going to love someone, anyone
why not start with ourselves?
and see where that takes us?
you losing makes you grow
do you want to lose with me?
growing helps you win
do you want to lose with me?
all the things your eyes have seen
that I can't see but I'll believe you 
if you believe me
and I mean you no harm
but I may the best disasters come to you
we need each other a lot more than we don't
my friends, my family
I cannot keep you, you are your own
but I will lay my heart down so I never go
and may I take it with me so I'll never be alone
on the stages of life
and these temporary homes

good news first
good news first to numb the pain

heres to the believers, and future believe
who can't keep each other in prisons
that's what we're serving
that's what we're deserving, yes
sometimes god doesn't talk
but then sometimes I try not to listen

losing makes you grow 

do you want to lose with me?

growing helps you win

do you want to lose with me?

all the trees in the forest grow tall together
why can't we?
we are moments passing by each other
holding on, and opening and closing again
like you were the air I breathe
but weeks and worlds apart
living in the only future that we used to talk about

good news first
good news first to numb the pain

dear achievers and future achievers
we will give all that we can take
so, take it and use it and duly abuse it
so, make your own kind of strength
losing makes you grow

do you want to lose with me?

growing helps you win

do you want to lose with me?
and I'm open to being wrong
it's all a guess
and more than anything I've lost, and yes
and I'm farthest way from home I think
I am closer to peace than to where I'm supposed to be
I've survived the utmost of this year
but it's hard to hold on with fingers crossed

good news first
