Looking around the house
Hidden behind the window and the door
Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home

Well, maybe I'm just too sure
Or maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound of it
Pieces of note fall down, but the letter said 'aha'

It was good, living with you, aha
It was good, ah-wa-aha
It was good, living with you, aha
It was good, aw, good good good good good good

Sitting around the house
Watching the sun trace shadows on the floor
Searching for signs of life, but there's nobody home

Now maybe I'll call, or write you a letter
Now maybe we'll see on the Fourth of July
But I'm not too sure, and I'm not too proud
Well I'm not too sure, and I'm not too proud to say 'aha'

It was good, living with you, aha
It was good, ah-wa-aha
It was good, living with you, aha
It was good, aw
So good

A-aha
It was good, living with you, aha
It was good, ah-wa-aha
It was good, living with you, aha
It was good, ah-ah-ah-ah-wa

Yeah, you were so good.
Yeah, you were so good.
Yeah, that's right...

Way back in the day, 1995, at work we always used to sing this as "Waffles".

Better Than Asthma
(When I lived in the NOLA area, what a fun, crazy, former co-worker used to call them. I miss Manny's comments on life.)

I went to LSU while these guys were playing around the campus scene. Friday nights at a bar called Murphy's ... They were the best the town had for sure.

Does anybody know whom or what does Ezra refer to?
In particular, George Ezra was born in 1993, so he was a little baby that time... ;-)

I like this song, always have. Because who can't appreciate an upbeat, kinda, breakup song. So rare, those.

It is Good. Mwaha.

Fortunately, my avoiding commercial radio whenever possible (grocery stores are the worst) has allowed some songs that got overplayed to death to come back from the dead and have new life.

That ended in a different place than it started.  They're good zombies!

This song is ok to hear for nostalgia about once every 10 or 20 years or so.{#Lol}

11 years with no airplay on RP, Bill shakes that old jukebox and always keeps an eye on its contents.

Stands the test of time quite well indeed.

Is this song REALLY almost 9 years old?? Where did the time go? Still holds up well, I think.

What isn't "Better than Ezra" ?
Posted 20 years ago by nikiMc    [ Reply ]
I went to the same college as these guys when they were the big local phenom. I thought it had been long enough ago that I was safe from ever hearing them again, but thanks for the painful reminder! no good...

This song is "good" but yeah...not my fave from Deluxe or BTE for that matter. Try In The Blood or Porcelain instead. Or something from Friction Baby, like Normal Town--those rock!! Love the BTE though, it's GOOD to hear on RP!! Thanks~

AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...... songs like this are why i don't listen to broadcast radio -- please

WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW lol. great tune. so easy to play on bass, but so perfect.
Posted 21 years ago by bakedjake    [ Reply ]
BTE was once my favorite band... I agree that "Deluxe" is a great album. "Porcelain" or "Rosealia" would have sounded better than "Good" on RP.

I'm with Vingenzo and Lily, good song, it went away long enough that it sounds fresh again in my mind.

This is one track i could certainly do without here. I didn\'t care for it when it was played to death on FM radio, and now, even Paradise can\'t elevate it.
