Julien Baker Good News lyrics

Written By: Julien Baker


Your long hair, a short walk
My biggest fear and a slow watch
The thin air, my ribs creak
Like wooden dining chairs when you see me

Always scared
That every situation ends the same
With the blank stare me in the tap water
Circling the sink drain

Because it's heavy
I'm trying really hard
To keep my nose clean
The blue out of my arms


But it's not easy
It's not easy

When what you think of me is important
And I know it shouldn't be so damn important
But it is to me
And I'm only ever screaming at myself in public
I know I shouldn't act this way in public
I know I shouldn't make my friends all worry
When I go out at night and grind my teeth like sutures
My mouth like a wound
When I stay up and throw my voice about you
Or less about you and more about how I ruined
Everything I think could be good news
