Good Life Lyrics


Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phoneNew names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to sayOh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good lifeSay, "Oh, got this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good lifeTo my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
From Paris to China to ColoradoSometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We all got our stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?When you're happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it inOh, this has gotta be the good life

This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good lifeI say, oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh, a good, good life, yeahHopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quickHopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good aboutOh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say, "Oh, got this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh yeah, good, good life, good life, oh, this isListen,
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
From Paris to China to ColoradoSometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We all got our stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about?
