Atlas - Good Kid

Baby if you don’t stand for something,

How can you ever stand at all?

Baby if you build on sand

you’ll be swept back by the foam.

Baby if you don’t stand for something how can you ever hope to hold the weight

of everything you own,

Maybe if you build your house on sand, you could burrow it deeper and

Maybe it’ll cave on you alone.

Swear I did, I tried, I swear I did,

thousand times to let it lie

thousand times to let it lie

Swear I did, I tried, I swear I did,

thousand times to let it lie

thousand times to let it lie

Baby if you don’t stand for something how can you ever hope to hold the weight

of everything you own,

Maybe if you show them all your hand you can nod in the creases

And maybe you could take it back and fold.

You said it was …,

He said …,

She said she was nothing but eager,

Then you said,

She said that you couldn’t believe her,

She said it was all just to lead her,

then you said, you said, you said, you said, you said, you

Swear I did, I tried, I swear I did,

thousand times to let it lie

thousand times to let it lie

Swear I did, I tried, I swear I did,

thousand times to let it lie

thousand times to let it lie

Swear I did, I tried, I swear I did,

thousand times to let it lie

thousand times to let it lie

Swear I did, I tried, I swear I did,

thousand times to let it lie

thousand times to let it lie

I heard that you weren’t sure,

and I called it off again.

(I swear I did I thought)

Now I heard that you weren’t sure,

and I called it off again.
