LYRICS

HOOK 
I think I could be good for you 
I think you’re overlooking your best move
I think I could be good for you 
Somewhere beneath the surface you do too.

VERSE 1 
My lipstick on a candy cigarette
bored backstage in Boston
if you say so, it’s only innocent 
But I can feel that you’re watching. 
Cause sometimes when it’s late 
you get careless
the bourbon gives you away
and the veil lifts. 
I don’t bring this up lightly 
don’t you think that I might be 
someone you can’t forget?
But if you don’t think that there’s lightning 
at the end of the kite string 
I don’t need another friend. 

HOOK

VERSE 2 
Bar close night’s over, but I guess they still let you smoke here
you should go home now with the rest, but your coat’s on my shoulders.  
No one gets to take both roads;
you solve for exes and unknowns 
decide what to keep and who to release 
I’m here with fog in my locket 
your name in my teeth.
Patience is no virtue
for saints out after curfew
we should chance it, I can’t stand inertia 
won’t get parachute rehearsals—
fall for me. 
Tell me it’s not what you wanted,
honestly? 

HOOK 

Aren’t you tired of the upper hand
don’t you want a girl to make you try a little now and then
I’m the one who’s talking to you now 
don’t you want to find out 
if you could win a bigger bet
I know I’m one of a hundred you could call like it’s nothing
but not every dime can play dozens
that’s gotta say something—
not every match gets met. 

HOOK

Dessa “Good For You”
