Good News First

Dear survivors and future survivors,
I think we make our own kind of hell,
If we’re going to 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?
Well, growing helps you win
Do you want to lose with me?
All the things your eyes have seen
That I haven’t seen
But I believe you if 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 cannot keep you
You are your own
But I’m going to 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 beleivers
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 you 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 fututure 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 you want to lose with me?
And I’m open to being wrong it’s all a guess
I’m more than anything I’ve lost (and yes!)
I’m the farthest away from home (I think)
but I’m loser to where I’m supposed to be
Closer to peace than I may ever 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
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 make 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.
