Sickie - Be Good

Are you acting on a feeling?

You call me up for twenty seconds saying nothing

I know you’re there ‘cause I can kinda hear you breathing

You’re stacking sugar cubes and thinking ‘bout me, babe

Are you okay?

I pulled a sickie to come see you on a weekday

I wrote a song while you were finishing an essay

I know you hurt because I hurt the same

Now I can see a garden

I can see a car in the driveway, yeah

I can see a cat by the front gate

I can see you reading on a cold day

It’s like music I can feel through the wall

I wait for so long

But I know that you’re not waiting for me

True love makes you strong

So why does it have to feel so strange?

Wait, look the other way

‘Cause I might have some bad bad news for you, hey

And I can’t say it to your face

What if you don’t need me, babe?

I remember when I saw you

I was with Dan and you were sitting with your brother

I spilled my drink and then you looked over your shoulder

Me and my beer are going down the drain

Now I can see a garden

I can see the future in a new way

I can see you swimming in a blue lake

See your silhouette in a doorway

Dreaming in colours I can’t see when I wake

Still I wait for so long

When I know that you’re not waiting for me

True love makes you strong

So why does it have to feel so strange?

Wait, look the other way

‘Cause I might have some bad bad news for you, hey

And I can’t say it to your face

What if you don’t need me, babe?

I wait for so long

But I know that you’re not waiting for me

True love makes you strong

So why does it have to feel so strange?

Wait, look the other way

‘Cause I might have some bad bad news for you, hey

And I can’t say it to your face

What if you don’t need me, babe?
