Seemed Like a Good Idea - Oh Mercy

Reading science fiction ain’t what it seems

Seems to reconsider some conscious dreams

A kid makes a promise to give what he’s got

With his fingers crossed and his guts in a knot

A bad mother f**ker with a heart of gold

If you asked the guy back would he do what he’s told

Like, don’t forget your milk on your way back home

The feeling’s getting heavy can you leave it alone?

This is my trial

Yeah it’s mine

It seemed like a good idea at the time

It seemed like a good idea at the time

I swear, I didn’t realize at the time

It seemed like a good idea

Like a good idea

I stared so hard, but things start to melt

That’s questionable I know but still it’s what I felt

I’ll get my degree then I’m planning to flee

It’s nothing I love

No it don’t matter to me

But it’s real

Because you can read it
