Good Standing

Verse 1

You taught me to read the color of a room on a deck with nothing behind us but the sea You said look at what a person won’t say I looked at you first I’ve been reading you ever since

Pre-Chorus

You were always so good at doing what you should

Chorus

You’re in good standing Everyone says so I’d say it too if I didn’t know what it costs You’re in good standing and I’m what you stand against and you still look at me like that

Verse 2

You knelt to a stranger in a city you’d never seen and I watched you mean it I’ve kept track of you since from the back of every room I always know where you’re standing

Pre-Chorus

You were always so good at doing what you must

Chorus

Bridge

I could ask you to put it down You’d want to I’d see it in the color of you and then you’d pick it up again because it’s the shape you were poured into and I love the shape and I can’t stand where it points

Final Chorus

You’re in good standing Everyone says so I’d say it too if I didn’t know what it costs You’re in good standing and when they send you to bring me in take the long way

Outro

Take the long way Take the long way and when they send you, I’ll be easy to find.
