Like…just a few nondescript dudes that could pass you on the street. No goofy clothes. No green hair. No need to be main characters. You would never notice them. But then they fucking belt it out and it just like whips your soul man. Jesus Christ. I love these fucking guys. So many horrible long nights they got me through just so I could listen again in the morning and know everything is going to be okay. Thank you.
Lyrics: [Verse 1] Yeeeeahhhhh! Last Friday night I wasn't me I was a still life trapped in eternity I was the focal point out of focus, out of ink And I've been wandering nightly Through the garden of your heartache Always making a mess, always stumbling out the door But, I don't wanna be an asshole anymore [Chorus] Baby, baby I'll be good to you I don't wanna be an asshole anymore Baby, baby, I'll be good to you Baby, baby, I'll be good to you [Verse 2] Another night, I devoured the sun And plunged myself into the depths of oblivion Yeah somewhere along the way I found why Feels damn good just to bleed sometimes But all I ever wanted was to make things right The years of idleness and spite I push my emotions off a bridge After taking them hostage with a shotgun Now they're somewhere treading water Somewhere lost inside the man that I'm not But I don't wanna be an asshole anymore [Chorus] Baby, baby I'll be good to you I don't wanna be an asshole anymore Baby, baby, I'll be good to you I'll be good to you, I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good [Verse 3] I won't lie no more about where I've been And I won't pry no more Over the people that you're hanging with You're the only lover that I ever missed Ever been hopelessly in love with Look at this tangle of thorns I don't wanna be an asshole anymore [Outro] Yeah, I don't wanna be an asshole anymore Oh no, no, no
