Lyrics to How To Be Good :
I could write the book of you
And illustrate the pages

You shouldn't read it
I'm the one that you put down,
It was written in a hurry,

Slipped through your fingers.

I do everything I should

Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,

Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?


I lay my storms down at your feet
Maybe you'll build a shelter,
Maybe do my heart work for me.

Oh, I kick and scream,
But the job is mine,
So I'll stay by the ocean

You got your own hills to climb.

I do everything I should

Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,

Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?


And I know that I am full of holes
Still they let me, see on through to the other side.
And the southern cross has got you in her sights.


I do everything I should
Still got to learn,

How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around

Wrap them around me?

Gotta wrap 'em around

Gotta wrap 'em around
Gotta wrap 'em around me...


I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.

You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me
