Anthony
Try not to wish that i’d just stayed home in bed
Try to ignore guys talking over my head
Choke down a chaser, pretending to text
Make sure my lock screen crops out my ex

Joey
Try not to freeze against a forest of eyes
Pull down my jeans to try and break up my thighs
Try not to speak so my voice doesn’t crack
Hope they won’t clock me if i turn my back

Anthony/joey
But this will be good

Joey
Desire lights me up like a christmas tree

Anthony/joey
This will be good

Anthony
But every heated glance i catch at misses me

Anthony/joey
This will be good, as good as i can do
'cause bottom-feeders are still fish in the sea
Just look, i'll be good
Good enough for you
Anthony
I see this all-american boy by the bar
His shirt's still on, does he know where we are?
Leaning like he's looking for his picket fence
He's nodding to the music, but his shoulders are tense
Who are you
All corn-silk hair and maple tree?
Don't you know
What i think i know you want from me?

I swear i'm still good
The last bruised peach at the bottom of the bin
I’m still good
Since when is not being chosen a sin?
I'm good, as good as any of you
‘cause the runt of the litter tries hardest to win
I swear i'll be good
Good enough for you

Joey
I see this pretty boy with a face like a doll
He’s checking his phone, is there no-one to call?
His hair’s shiny black and his eyes shiny bright
He’s shorter than me, so he’s just the right height
Who are you
With honey skin, your shoes brand-new?
Don't you know
Who i think you think you're talking to?
I swear i'm still good
The crushed up chips in the bottom of the bag
I'm still good
I could have a date, but i'm just going stag
I'm good, as good as any of you!
The kid who's it always wants to play tag
I swear i’ll be good
Good enough for you

Joey
God, you're flawless

Anthony
God, you're stunning

Joey/anthony
Your love could make me perfect, too

Anthony
My hair would be blonder-

Joey
My voice would be lower-

Joey/anthony
I’ll wake up just as hot as you
Joey/anthony
Pretend you don’t see it
And swear i’m alright

Joey
I know you'll regret this-

Anthony (overlapping)
You'll regret this

Joey/anthony
But i'll get you for tonight

Anthony/joey
I swear i’ll be good

I swear you’re still good

I swear this is good

Good enough for you

Hao/jÓzef
I think you think you think i think
I think you think you think i think
I think you think you think i think
I love you
