Good Bones

Check one—

Is this thing feelin’?

Yeah, we’re built right.

You came through like a floorplan flipped,

Moved the couch, tore up the script.

Didn’t ask, just lit the room—

Now I laugh in wider bloom.

Your voice got baseboard charm,

Every word lands safe and warm.

And my past? You let it peel—

Said, “I don’t fix—I feel.”

[Pre-Chorus – falsetto tags on key words, sung with slight swing]

You don’t decorate—

You resonate.

You don’t rush fate—

You renovate.

[Chorus – full groove, tight bassline, backing harmonies stacked wide]

We got good bones,

Even when the paint cracks.

Even when the storms moan—

We don’t fold, we snap back.

Good bones, through the ache and bend,

Built on laughs that don’t pretend.

You and me? Earthquake proof.

Truth in every groove.

[Verse 2 – lean vocal flow, percussion-led phrasing, micro-pauses for swagger]

You don't do perfect, you do present.

Make the cracks feel fluorescent.

You don’t chase, you check the beams,

See what still holds all my dreams.

We’re not shiny, we’re real strong.

Like a record that plays too long.

And when we break, we flex instead,

Sleep on love, wake up ahead.

[Pre-Chorus – same flow, with drum roll stutters underneath]

You don’t decorate—

You resonate.

You don’t cover cracks—

You translate.

[Chorus – brighter now, slight chord shift to lift it]

We got good bones,

Even when the paint cracks.

Even when the storms moan—

We don’t fold, we snap back.

Good bones, through the ache and bend,

Built on laughs that don’t pretend.

You and me? Earthquake proof.

Truth in every groove.

[Bridge – spoken word, slight distortion, tight snare under heartbeat pace]

People ask if we’re built to last.

Nah.

We’re built to grow.

To lean.

To change shape mid-song

And still hold the note.

[Final Chorus – shout-sung, claps added, call-and-response lines]

We got good bones (say it loud),

Even when it rains too proud.

Good bones (hold that sound),

Even when the floor falls down.

Good bones—through shake and test,

We don’t stress. We just reset.

You and me? Yeah, we proved—

This love got truth in every groove.

[Outro – acoustic guitar loop, one final spoken line with room reverb]

If you ever wonder—

This house still stands.
