[Listener - Good News First lyrics]
Dear survivors and future survivors:
I think we make our own kind of hell
If we’re gonna love someone, anyone
Why not start with ourselves and
See where that takes us
Losing makes you grow do you
Want to lose with me?
Growing helps you win do want
To lose with me?
Oh the things your eyes have
Seen that I haven't seen
But, I believe you do you believe me?
And I mean you no harm
But may the best disasters come to you
We need each other a lot more than we don’t
My friends my family I can not keep you
You are your own
But, I’ll fill my heart with you and
Weigh it down so I never go
Or maybe take you with me so
I’ll never really be alone
Out here on these stages of
Life in these temporary homes
Good news first
Good news first to numb the pain
Dear believers and future believers:
We can't keep each other in prisons
If that's what we're serving
That's what we're deserving
Yes sometimes God never talks
But then sometimes we try not to listen
Losing makes you grow do you
Want to lose with me?
Growing helps you win do 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
Letting go, opening and closing again
Like you are the air I breathe
But weeks and worlds apart
Living in the future that we
Used to talk about
Good news first
Good news first to numb the pain
Dear achievers and future achievers:
We will get all we can take
So take it and use it and through the abuses
We’ll make our own kind of strength
Losing makes you grow do you
Want to lose with me?
Growing helps you win do want
To lose with me?
And I’m open to being wrong, it’s all a guess
And I’m more than anything I’ve lost
(and yes)
And I'm the farthest away from home (I think)
But, I'm closer to where I'm supposed to be
Closer to peace than I may be again ever
Well I’ve survived again most of this year
But, it's hard to hold on
With your fingers crossed
Good news first
Good news first to numb the pain oh, no!
Dear survivors and future survivors:
You are all amazing you are important
Flawed and scarred on purpose
I love you all because you’re perfect
And with all the rest of me
Losing makes you grow do you
Want to lose with me?
Growing helps you win who wants
To lose with me?
Good news first
Good news first to numb the pain
(and on my best days so I can take it)
I think we make our own kind of hell
If we’re gonna love someone, anyone
Why not start with ourselves and
See where that takes us
Losing makes you grow do you
Want to lose with me?
Growing helps you win do want
To lose with me?
Oh the things your eyes have
Seen that I haven't seen
But, I believe you do you believe me?
And I mean you no harm
But may the best disasters come to you
We need each other a lot more than we don’t
My friends my family I can not keep you

But, I’ll fill my heart with you and
Weigh it down so I never go
Or maybe take you with me so
I’ll never really be alone
Out here on these stages of
