Straw Dogs - This Good Lyrics

I can't remember now all that I said that day
And I can't deny that I was in a desperate way
Not for lack of vision but for lack of grace
Or my disbelief, despite your embrace

That's why I told you that I'd try
When you told me that I should
But nobody ever told me it could be this good

Forgive my stammering, oh, and forgive me my tears
But I lived like I had died through too many forgettable years
I stand here as a child on the edge of a stream
And I'm wanting to dive but afraid to release

But now I've told you that I'd try
And you told me that I should
But nobody ever told me it could be this good

Nobody told me
Anything, so where I'd been was all
I thought the world could be
'Til you showed me
That I had been all wrong
And then alright
Here, I'm alright
Alright

When I slept at all I would sleep with the light on
Until you unveiled all the peace of the night
And how every morning's an unbroken promise
Now I will promise to you I will do more than try

So I have told you that I'd stay
Because you told me that I should
But nobody ever said anything could be this good

I told you that I'd try
When you told me that I should
But nobody ever told me it could be this good
