Cover art for Good Intentions lyrics by Toad the Wet Sprocket

This is a great song! It means the guy got out of hand the night before and he doesn't understand or remember what he did. He does hope things will get better, but he's probably been feeling bad a long time. Thus the line, ".i'm not afraid things won't get better but it feels like this has gone on forever"
