“Twenty Good Reasons” was written by Thirsty Merc singer Rai Thistlethwayte. According to the band’s website, the song was written when Rai Thislethwayte was visiting New York. He had just ended a relationship. The song is about how life seems to go on like normal even when a person is dealing with inner turmoil. Sometimes a person needs to let go of control of the situation and let some time pass to feel normal again. But the song is asking a question why does it have to be like this?
Lyrics
They said love hurtsI wrote that bookI climbed that wallI had one lookBut you just came around, to say helloThe streets were filled with guilty heartsAnd here was I right from the startAnd I lost everythingWhen I lost youSo tell me why-why-why-whyShould I let you goGive me 20 good reasonsI need to knowYeahAnd at that pointThere was no painThere was no skyThere was no rain fallAll there was was you and your sweet faceBut life is lifeAnd things will changeLike scenes upon an actors stageTomorrow comes todayfor all we knowSo tell me baby why-why-why-whyShould I let you goGive me 20 good reasonsI need to knowYeahGive me 20 good reasons [X3]To let you goSo tell me baby why-why-why-whyShould I let you goGive me 20 good reasonsI need to knowYeahSo tell me baby why-why-why-whyShould I let you goGive me 20 good reasonsI need to knowYeah, yeahGive me 20 good reasons [X2]Good reasonsI need to knowYeahGive me 20 good reasons [X3]——————————————————- 20 Good Reasons lyrics © O/B/O Apra Amcos
