Emily Hackett - Good Intentions Lyrics






I planned on stopping all the talking and knocking on the doors of the boys who I know are bad for me
Said I'd quit shopping, dropping bank on the clothes that make them wanna buy me a drink
Said I'd quit leaving my car parked behind the bar but I got towed the second time this week
Can't count the promises I can't keep

Gonna get skinny this year
And I swear that ill stop cursing
Gonna stop drinking this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurring
Tween what I say and what I do...
When I'm all talk no follow-through
Can't get rich making penny wishes
Can't get to heaven
On good intentions

Nobody's perfect, no but I plan on working on a version half as good as the girl next door
Have you heard? I'm gonna save the world. Yeah, I'll get started when I'm not so poor
I watch the ball drop on new years eve
I'll drop the ball when it comes to me

Gonna get skinny this year
And I swear that ill stop cursing
Gonna stop drinking this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurring
Tween what I say and what I do...
When I'm all talk no follow-through
Can't get rich making penny wishes
Can't get to heaven
On good intentions

All the bad, bad, bad decisions
Gonna get, get them outta my system
Fix, fix, fix my condition
Ditch the excuses I been givin'

    Emily Hackett speaks the truth. The singer/songwriter raised in Atlanta, Georgia pulls these emotions into her music, stirring in an authentic blend of self-deprecation that is both unique and refreshing. What poises her against the rest is the soul of a fiery artist ready to light up the stage, all the while still as honest as her Southern roots.

    In a minefield of songs where a topic of getting your heart broken never tires, Emily checks herself for matches, writing about her own short failings and repercussions. After all, there are two sides to every story. Emily says, “If I can’t be honest with someone to their face or to myself in a relationship, it’ll always come out in a song. Somehow it’s there that I have the bravery to admit to it.”

    The result of Emily’s insatiable music passion is undeniable. In the last few years, Emily has made a splash in the music scene releasing two EPs – As It Comes and Fury, Fear and Heartbreak. In 2013, Emily released an acoustic cover with Megan Davies of Lorde’s hit “Royals.” The response has brought in over half-a-million views on YouTube, was featured on Buzzfeed, won “Best Coffeehouse Cover of 2013” on Sirius XM and reached the final round of “Best Royals Covers” on Ryan Seacrest. This year Emily won the national Belk’s Modern Southern Music Showcase where she plays tour dates with artists Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Rascal Flatts. Her duet with Parachute frontman Will Anderson, “Take My Hand (The Wedding Song)” hit the No. 4 spot on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart.

    No doubt Emily Hackett has found her place in this world – and I’m telling you right now - it’s on a big stage in front of a LOT of people. Check out the video for this next song on YouTube and see for yourself. I know it when I see it. And Emily’s totally got it. Here’s Good Intentions by Emily Hackett on IOL.
