It's Still a Good Place

I keep waiting For it to be how it used to be Look for your face in every crowd And tell myself to keep looking Should I have told you Well I guess we'll never know Think you'd like that I'll forever walk next to your ghost But this time around I think a little piece of me knows you're gone And when I go back And ask you to stay Would you tell me That it's still a good place You are the North Star To every sea I sail And maybe I could map the whole world's oceans but I'd fail Cause I remember All the little things And every time I try to let you go you come back to me But this time around I think a little piece of me knows you're gone And when I go back And ask you to stay Would you tell me That it's still a good place Yeah this time around I think a little piece of us knows you're gone And when we go back And ask you to stay Would you tell us It's still a good place Momma always told me never play with nice girls Think they're better and they can't light a cigarette Even worse they will do what their told too Well she didn't listen when I said turn back Burn that car I wanna burn that car Make it an ashtray and burn that car Key that car I wanna key that car Pop all the tires and burn that car Momma always told me never play with bad girls Get into trouble and they Get into trouble and they You know I'll give it to you, uh uh uh What no one will give to you, uh uh uh You think I've wronged you, did you forget? I picked you up when you were drunk and you saw three of me I always did I always did I always did We were driving down Cumberland road We were fighting, god it was the snow You were driving, I said you were fine It was a normal party, like any other night There was the red light The road was empty December icy Ran it way too fast Another car we could Not See It's been a while since I've been here before Seen every house, knocked on every door And maybe I saw you cry one night Did you say, where did my baby go Up in the light Up so high Up in the light It was so kind Always thought it would be so cold Never grew up, never got old And maybe I, pervade your mind Did you say Oh, she went too young Don't go searching For someone you can't see And If I'm a vigil Would you save one last hail Mary for me But this time around I think a little piece of me knows you're gone And when I go back And ask you to stay Would you tell me It's still a good place This time around I think a little piece of us knows you're gone And when we go back And tell you to stay Would you tell us It's still a good place She was a nice girl A vigil in the night A Madonna if you've ever seen one And I loved her I loved her We loved her
