Good News Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your long hair, a short walk
My biggest fear and a slow watch
Thin air, my ribs creak
Like wooden dining chairs when you see me
Always scared that every situation ends the same
With a blank stare
Me and the tap water circling the sink drain
Because it's heavy, but I'm trying really hard
To keep my nose clean and the blue out of my arms
But it's not easy
It's not easy
[Verse 2]
When what you think of me is important
And I know it shouldn't be so damn important
But it is to me
And I'm only ever screaming at myself in public
I know I shouldn't act this way in public
I know I shouldn't make my friends all worry
When I go out at night
And grind my teeth like sutures
My mouth like a wound
Whеn I stay up and throw my voice about you
It's less about you
And more about how I ruin
Evеrything I think could be good news
Your long hair, a short walk
My biggest fear and a slow watch
Thin air, my ribs creak
Like wooden dining chairs when you see me
Always scared that every situation ends the same
With a blank stare
Me and the tap water circling the sink drain
Because it's heavy, but I'm trying really hard
To keep my nose clean and the blue out of my arms
But it's not easy
It's not easy
[Verse 2]
When what you think of me is important
And I know it shouldn't be so damn important
But it is to me
And I'm only ever screaming at myself in public
I know I shouldn't act this way in public
I know I shouldn't make my friends all worry
When I go out at night
And grind my teeth like sutures
My mouth like a wound
Whеn I stay up and throw my voice about you
It's less about you
And more about how I ruin
Evеrything I think could be good news

Genius Annotation
On October 31, 2023, the members of boygenius each covered a song from another’s solo work, starting with Dacus performing Baker’s song “Good News”.
This was not her first time playing the song. In 2016, Dacus told Popmatters:
My whole life seems to be a string of these moments. One day we’ll say to each other, “Nothing can top this, it’s all down hill from here.” And then we’ll say the same thing the next day. Most recently, last night we played with Julien Baker in Portland and we sang her song “Good News” together on stage.
