Good Grief (Live)

[Verse 1]

I got snow in my pockets

Went down again head first

Laced drill bits to my pointe shoes

Pirouette through the hardwood to paydirt

Night falls, day breaks; time

Has a funny kind of violence and I’m

Tryna keep in mind

It can’t leave you the way it finds you

Good grief:

I’ve heard people say it

What a phrase, what a state to be in

But I don’t know where they go to get get

That feeling

(Good grief)

My knees stay clean

Not much for praying

I do my own stunts and my own saving

But there’s something amiss

Something I been missing maybe maybe

[Chorus]

They say there’s good grief

But how can you tell it from the bad?

Maybe it’s only in the fact

Good grief’s the one that’s in your past

They say there’s good grief

But how can you tell it from the bad?

Maybe it’s only in the fact

Good grief’s the one that’s in your past

[Verse 2]

This time, my best wasn’t good enough

Well, fuck. Usually it is

And the air got a little rough

Took off the fuselage and engine and both wings

But I’m ready to work for this

Just show me where to dig

I’m ready to hurt for this

I know exactly what this is—

(Good grief!)

I want that good grief

The one that heals me

That leaves me clarified by fire (leaves me clarified)

When I’m burned clean

Tempered by light and heat

Ah, in the dead of morning

I’ll be better for it

And then fortified I’ll rise

Bust the hydrant, let it spray champagne

Wings are broken but I feel no pain

It’s real today, I know this feeling, let it rain

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

And secrets don’t like to be kept

All mine jumped over the fence

I guess I should be upset

But I’m in my nightgown on the lawn

Thinking, better that they’re gone

I’ve been afraid of this so long

It’s a relief when it goes wrong

Oh, I’m here now, and asking

Melt me down, recast me

Burn me clean

Like glass from sandy ground

I’m here now, and asking

Melt me down, recast me

Burn me clean

Like glass from sandy ground

(Burn me clean)

(Good grief)

Good grief

(Burn me clean)

(They say there's good grief)

Cuz I'm here now and asking

Melt me down

(Good grief)

(They say there's good grief)

Recast me, burn me clean

Maybe it's just the one

(Recast me, melt me down)

Maybe it's just the one

(They say there's good grief)

Maybe it's only in the fact

Good grief's the one that's in your past
