Something Good

Bic Runga · Beautiful Collision [2002]

Just wanna know ya

Just wanna talk to ya

I wanna hear about your day

I'd never leave ya

Never be mean to ya

I'd always let you get your way

[chorus]

Something good will come our way

And maybe this good thing's gonna happen today

If I were honest

I'd tell you everything

But it keeps coming out as lies

Its' not a promise

In case your wondering

It's not some blessing in disguise

[chorus]x2

I know romance is not in fashion

And my heart is on the line

If you would be so kind

To help me kill some time

Then something good just might come crashing

From the stars that light the sky

If you would be so kind

To help me kill some time

Just wanna know ya

Just wanna talk to ya

I wanna hear about your day

I'd never leave ya

Never be mean to ya

I'd always let you get your way

[chorus]x4
