Any Good

Compositor: Johanna Samuels

I can hear two lovers thru the wall
They lay as she reaches defeat
I hear them all the time
She commutes from Anaheim
She says the Moon is full
And to expect a big pull

Tonight's full Moon it'll be one month
Since I got scared that I was a fool
To let you all the way back in
Just when you proved my right again

Remember when we tried to write a song together?
You made a face at the words I chose
I was trying to write simpler
And you said: Yeah, well there's a different between
What's simple and what isn't any good

Tonight's full Moon it'll be two years
Since you put me straight down for the first time
I said: Maybe let him in
'Cause people surprise us sometimes

Faces around my face
So patiently
They have waited as I've tried
To defend the last glimmers
Of good character

Today I play: In the grass all wine colored
With lovers strewn about the blades
You've got everything you need
Lies sounding like they're honesty
Some guy said: In this town
That's your biggest head start

On that new Moon outside the bar
With the streets all wet
I knew I was in trouble
I said: Darling please be careful with me
Shame on me

Tonight's white light with the ring of pink
I can't afford to think about
How there's a difference between
Absent-minded love and being unkind
