Good Intentions Lyrics - In Light Syrup - Toad The Wet Sprocket

It's hard to rely on my good intentions 

When my head's full of things that I can't mention 

Seems I usually get things right 

But I can't understand what I did last night 

And it's hard to rely on my own good senses 

When I miss so much that requires attention 

I have to laugh at myself sometimes 

And I can see that I'm not blind 

There's little relief 

Give us reprieve, oh 

For all the things I've left behind 

I'm positive that I'm not blind 

I'm not afraid things won't get better 

But it feels like this has gone on forever 

You have to cry with your own blue tears 

You have to laugh with your own good cheer 

And it's hard to rely on my good intentions 

When my head's full of things that I can't mention 

Seems I usually get things right 

But I can't understand what I did last night 

There's little relief 

Give us reprieve, oh 

And imagining the world outside 

I'm positive that I'm not blind 

I can't be hard on you 

'Cause you know I've been there too 

Learned a lot of things from you 

Oh but life gives little relief 

Give us reprieve, oh 

And when everyone is cold as ice 

I clinch my fists and close my eyes 

Imagining the world outside 

And I can see that I'm not blind
