Good Company from This Place by Reeya Banerjee

George announces free shots for everyone
on the worst night of twenty sixteen
I don’t know what I’d do if I were alone
we all curse crying in good company

Bryan implores me you’re still deserving of
love you’ve got everything that you need
high on human kindness the heaviest
subjects change in good company

those nights
that cast of characters
low and high
a beacon in
dark times
let’s trash the barrier
between your trouble and mine

So wrap me up in something long-winded and winding tonight
I am grateful for these ties
I wanna keep them tight

Jonathan and me start exploring a
rambling through line from Bob to Bruce
London phone call skit both in stitches
I showed up sullen but now I’m loose

Man about town Phil saves us both from a self-important stain of a dude
while Leslie’s boyscout boyfriend
is pulling her back from that one more drink mood

those nights
that cast of characters
low and high
a beacon in
dark times
let’s trash the barrier
between your trouble and mine

So wrap me up in something long-winded and winding tonight
I am grateful for these ties
I wanna keep them tight

Tangled up and being lifted out of myself tonight
we are stars in each others’ eyes
I wanna keep this light alive

Fifteen minutes, me then Zoe, trading gossip in turns
Over sugar-free old-fashioneds, dirty secrets to learn

Jimmy lets us light up as his fingers count up the bills
One more beer until tomorrow, laughing with Devon and Jill

So wrap me up in something long-winded and winding tonight
I am grateful for these ties
I wanna keep them tight

Tangled up and being lifted out of myself tonight
we are stars in each others’ eyes
I wanna keep this light

George announces free shots for everyone
on the worst night of twenty sixteen
I don’t know what I’d do if I were alone
we all curse crying in good company
