Good Intentions Lyrics

This isn't the outcome that I wanted or expected
I don't recognize this place but I love the warm reception
And everything's familiar, like I've seen this place before
but my memory's convenient, I forget what I should know

I've been thinking about how my good intentions
keep me turned around
I don't know the road or the destination
but I think I'm about to find that out
To find that out

There isn't a ?
that I could recall to take me from this misdirection
And everything's a suspect cause' you can't all be my friends
Have I lost my intuition? Is it me or is it them?

I've been thinking about how my good intentions
keep me turned around
I don't know the road or the destination
but I think I'm about to find that out
To find that out

How my good intentions
keep me turned around
I don't know the road or the destination
but I think I'm about to find that out

Yeah, my good intentions
keep me turned around
I don't know the road or the destination
but I think I'm about to find that out

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I really think this song is about a guy who thinks he's going the right way, taking the right path making the right choices, but at the same time he's regretting it and knowing it's all wrong..

but I could be wrong

I'm just surprised I'm the first to comment
