Good Reason

[Verse 1]

I’m starting to believe it’s magic

When somebody can’t imagine

If it didn’t happen to you

It doesn’t make it less true

[Verse 2]

I know it’s an act to try and balance

Commiseration and empathic absence

Lean too hard on either side

And we’ll all have a real bad time

[Chorus]

But it’s all just part of a plan

Just try and do the best that you can

And know that everything that happens

Is for some goddamn good reason

[Verse 3]

Well I’m still thinking of a way to say it

That won’t just come off as so outdated

Do unto others still might fit

Unless you treat yourself like shit

[Chorus]

But if it’s all just part of a plan

I’ll try and do the best that I can

And hope that everything that happens

Is for some goddamn good reason

[Bridge]

Sometimes life feels like being on late night drive

Where someone’s taken the exit signs

Replaced your headlamps with flashlights

And you’re just trying to get somewhere and not die

[Chorus]

But it’s all part of a plan

Just try and do the best that you can

Pretend that everything that happens

Is for some goddamn good reason

[Outro]

For some goddamn good reason
