[Verse 1]
Somebody told me 'bout a worn-out distraction
That I, I let slip away
Then it comes back and rides my shoulders
And burdens me every new day
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I'll just sit here like a slow burnout
And try to figure how to do without, without you
[Chorus]
Who's going to straighten me up
When I'm leaning?
Who's going to soothe my heart
When it's burning?
Who's going to be the one
To tell me everything's alright?
Well, goodnight, good guy
[Verse 2]
I'll break the bread of a new day and wonder
If faith will carry me along
But days are longer as my heart gets weaker
And I can only stay so strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I'll just sit here like a wounded soul
Who's finding it difficult to just let go, let it go
[Chorus]
Who's going to straighten me up
When I'm leaning?
Who's going to soothe my heart
When it's burning?
Who's going to be the one
To tell me everything's alright?
Well, goodnight, good guy
[Bridge]
Well, I'm gonna let you sleep
I'll let you fade off in the night, yeah
I pray the Lord to keep
I pray the Lord to hold you tight
Well, goodnight
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Who's going to straighten me up
When I'm leaning?
Who's going to soothe my heart
When it's burning?
Who's going to be the one
To tell me everything's alright?
Well, goodnight
[Outro]
Who's going to straighten me up
When I'm leaning?
Who's going to soothe my heart
When it, when it, when it's burning?
Who's going to be the one
To tell me everything, everything's alright?
Well, goodnight, good guy
