It’s All Good

Lyrics

[JOHN] The first time I picked up a guitar Was at my cousin's house on Adams street He was supposed to be watching me but he was stoned While he slept I went through all of his stuff I found pills, and a gun, bit a beer, bit a snuff But my favorite of all of the things that he owned Was his guitar I strummed the strings It made a noise And I put it down The next time I picked up a guitar Was in music class in fifth grade And I practiced real hard and I practiced each day And I learned all the songs and I played them real well And I played them at concerts where everyone clapped And said "John, you're the best," "John, we love how you play" And I thought Yeah, wow, this feels electric and Shit, man, this is exciting and Buzz, ring, this is better than anything else Fill, run, nothing is missing and Loud, crash, everyone's happy And I can do calculus, I can get girls And it's all good [CHRIS] The first time I grabbed a microphone Was when I was ten at summer camp I was nervous and nerdy and totally shy Then came the summer talent show And I sang on that stage and the people below They all cheered as I wailed "satisfaction" and I thought Yeah, wow this is the real thing and Whoa, like why am I so calm Ahh, yeah this is better than anything else Mmm, hot, acceptance, not nervous Flow, cool, no one is yelling My acne is gone and my mom's not divorced And it's all good [JOHN] And when I am playing the guitar [NATO] And when I am playing the bass [BRANDON] And when I am playing the drums [CHRIS] And when I'm singing [CHRIS, JOHN, BRANDON, NATO] It's fun It's nice It's sweet It's real Forget What's wrong What's right Is what I feel [BRANDON] And it's like [CHRIS, JOHN, BRANDON, NATO] Fill, void, things that are broken are Fixed, fine questions are answered and I find it feels better than anything else Scream, yell people will listen and Love, live I'll never leave From the very first time that I played From the very first time that I played From the very first time that I played With you It's hasn't all been perfect But it's been better than anything else It's been better than anything else It's been better than anything else And it's all good
