The Avett Brothers - Good To You lyrics

I know you were needing more
Of me than I gave
When we heard your cousin had
Crashed and passed away
I hate it when I talk without thinking
I will do what you are needing me to do

I want to be good to you
I want to be there for you
And when I come home you still want me to

When your best friend got married
I was off and gone
You said it wasn't a problem that
There was nothing wrong with
Putting my work, my art and my songs
Before spending time at the wedding
As I listened over the phone line
You talked you sounded so sad
Alone in a room full of strangers
Some dude saying I treat you so bad


Who is this guy and what does he know?
Apparently more than I do

I want to be good to you
I want to be there for you
And when I come home
Will you still want me to?
And when I come home
Will you still want me to?

When you were born I promised myself
I'd always be there for you
To help you feel safe and never alone
No matter what life put you through
Time passed by, I lost my way
And didn't find it for years
A strong young woman now stands in her place
The child has disappeared now that I'm home
Do you still want me here?

I want to be good to you
I want to be there for you
I want to be good to you
And when I come home
Will you still want me to?
And if I come home
Will you still want me to?
