Good Before

You dreamed last night of a locust swarm Woke up stoned With nothing left in the nightstand drawer You reach for me I know what you need And maybe I'll try once more It was good before It was good before There's times I'd rather be heard than seen Traveling alone When the trees stretch dark in the morning light Trust me, trust me I know that you need me But there's no room in my chest I'm a boy again I'm a boy again Just a boy again With a name to defend Once you held me close Through the night sky vertigo Now the street lights rise And the starlight drifts like snow It's hard to face it and keep going Someday I'll want more Of what was good before What was good before
