We Good?
Lyrics
a couple words on the internet
misunderstood by all my friends
and i’m not sure what really happened
told i suck and that i should feel bad
my fragile heart ripped from my chest
my ego crushed between their hands
i fucked up so loud everybody noticed
i made myself a basket case*
i tried to calm down but it was hopeless
i had to process all this shame alone
tell me that i'll be fine, this will be alright
tell me that we're good, tell me that we're good
this is all okay, this will go away
tell me that i'm good, tell me that i'm good
the panic soon replaced my will to live
i hated everything i ever did
but what if i just fled the country?
or maybe i could build a time machine
and i could actualize a perfect me
that always knows just what to say
i fucked up so loud everybody noticed
i made myself a basket case
i tried to calm down but it was hopeless
i had to process all this shame alone
tell me that i'll be fine, this will be alright
tell me that we're good, tell me that we're good
this is all okay, this will go away
tell me that i'm good, tell me that i'm good
i had this dream where i can't leave my bed
i hear my friends talk like i'm already dead
they openly mock me for all my regrets
god it feels so bad
i'm growing and i'm trying
i promise i'm not lying
this feels like i'm dying
this feels like the end
tell me that i'll be fine, this will be alright
tell me that we're good, tell me that we're good
this is all okay, this will go away
tell me that i'm good, tell me that i'm good
i fucked up so loud everybody noticed
i made myself a basket case
i tried to calm down but it was hopeless
i had to process all this shame alone

Song Notes
ngl i am sick of this song. my biggest fear is that this somehow ends up becoming our most popular song (not because i necessarily think it would be but you never know!)
i think it's a great song, obvz, i'm just sick of hearing it over and over and over again. i don't know why? but i think i've learned something from this experience about over-exposing myself to my own work. yikez.
this song is about being "canceled" but i swear i wrote it years before that was even a term, based on a friend of mine that was (i believe) unfairly trashed on.
i think good people do bad things and most people (not everyone) can grow and change from the experience.
Recording Notes
i hate the ukulele lol but there's a ukulele! i also have two acoustic guitars in different tunings playing different open chords. i have totally forgotten what those tunings are aahhh.
i am so glad that i was able to record a bazillion instruments and Michael was able to mix everything so it all sounded cohesive and clear. he really did a fantastic job on mixing this song.
because i'm not a great piano player, i tracked the left and right hands separately. the piano in Estuary sounds incredible. the room helps, for sure, but there's something magical about that piano!
