Seventeen, in a hometown suburb

With the whole world yet uncovered

Two teens, wild and free

Said they’d be in Love forever.

That’s a Love ain’t meant to last.

Now she’s just a girl from my past.

Crazy lookin’ back,

How’d a decade go that fast?

And I think about that girl time to time

When I’m lost inside my mind

Love better be good, if it’s this damn hard to find.

Love better be good next time.

Best friends turned to lovers,

And never planned to have another.

Oh how in your early twenties,

How you think you’ll never recover.

She’s the one who pulled me up tall

And dusted me off when I’d fall.

It’s been 3 long years,

Since I last heard her call

And I think about that girl time to time

When I’m lost inside my mind

Love better be good, if it’s this damn hard to find.

Love better be good next time.

I gave my heart away to someone who didn’t Love me back.

I offered her the world, she asked for what I lacked.

I tried every day, to Love her better.

I wonder if she’ll even get this letter.

And I think about that girl time to time

When I’m lost inside my mind

Love better be good, if it’s this damn hard to find.

Love better be good next time.

Single

Love Better Be Good

She loves the bar, if it has live music

Owns a guitar, but damn sure she don’t use it

Talks your ear off, about all the clothes she thrifts

And then she’ll leave you, like the wind she drifts

Up at night, I haven’t slept in weeks

No one’s home, but the floorboards they still creek

Who do I call after a long day?

Do I stumble down to the place she stays?

I’m a failure, at righting all my wrongs

But the jukebox, is playing all our favorite songs

Am I drunk on finding something new?

So I find her, I didn’t look that hard

She’s the only good girl in this bar

The way she dances, around my mind

It’s shades of gray, and I’m color blind

She calls me out, for acting like a fool

Too many nights, camped out on this barstool

Am I Lucky? I need Sumbucks for my tab

Blame Mckenzie for not calling me a cab

I’m a failure, at righting all my wrongs

But the jukebox, is playing all our favorite songs

Am I drunk on finding something new?

Stubborn Lover, if you leave I’m coming too

Stubborn Lover, if you leave I’m coming too

Notes about the song: The lead singer of one of my favorite bands, Caamp, started a "side project" to which he releases songs under the artist name Sumbuck. Both Caamp and Sumbuck are some of my favorites artists to cover, likely because most of them involve simple chord progressions. I learned how to play the song "Mckenzie" a while back and decided instead of covering it I would keep most of the musical parts of the song and rewrite the lyrics. I wanted to include a bit of a tribute to my influences as seen in the last verse. In this verse "Camped" is in reference to the band Caamp. "Lucky" references the album the song "Mckenzie" is on. And "Sumbucks" is intentionally misspelled to reference the artist Sumbuck.
