Good News First lyrics

The best we can agree on

is it could have been worse

What happened to your old

benevolent universe?

You know the one with stars

that revolve around you

beaming down full of promises

to bring good news

You used to feel that way.

The saddest words you could never say—

but I know you’ll remember that day

and the most beautiful words I could ever say

The worst thing about it all

is that you might have been right

and I’m still not really sure

what started that fight

But I still get this feeling

there’s more trouble ahead

So never mind that bad news

let’s have the good news instead

Some would say they never fear a thing

Well, I do

And I’m afraid enough for both of us—

for me and you

Time, if nothing else, will do it’s worst

so do me that favor

and tell me the good news first
