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
