Intro
I give her my heart, and I’m not keeping one foot out the door.
“Girl, We Got A Good Thing Going” catches Jimmy and Sally while things are great. Mike is singing down the street. I can’t see this ever changing, even if I can’t explain how we got here.
Disc one tells a love story that goes badly. These are the days Jimmy will remember afterward, when being together seemed enough. The song even makes room for crying together; those tears belong to the good thing too.
Mike compares his outfit to a bad prom date. He’s cheering anyway.

Lyrics
Chunjay, Verse 1:
I make love to your soul intertwine with you
Complete and whole make one from two
Who knew we could have such fun
And we could cry those tears we could go on runs
Stupid intense I love every inch
I gave you my heart I’m not on that fence
Spare no expense, 100 and change
It seems so strange just happened one day
I’ve dreamed such thangs but they crumble like dirt
This love’s here to stay, so intense it hurts
Can’t see it ever changing how things are now
Moments press into next an eternal Tao
Girl we got a good thing goin…and… I… don’t… know… how!
Flatline, Chorus:
Girl we got a good thing goin’
I’m singing loudly down the street we rollin’
Shouting from the top from the hills to the ocean
Together our days and our nights in slow motion
Flatline, Verse 2:
I don’t wanna stage a rom com but I’m
Cheering like some pom poms
United in our vision
But I’m dressed up like a bad prom
Date save the wait
This Prince looking for his Kate
Duchess Royal dress and oil
Olives piled up on my plate
Girl a good thing’s goin on
A bright adventure, a golden dawn
A pop of champagne, a pint of beer
Cheers, a good thing to hold so dear
Chunjay, Chorus 2:
Hey! You and me girl
Hey! We in our world
Hey! Things are so fresh
Hey! With that sweet caress
