We'll Be OK

It's 2:00 in the afternoon

I think of you

And all the space between

The sun, the moon

Just me and you

Why can't light shine on us that way...today?



A few hours pass

I'm done at last

You've gone, I don't know where we are...

Miles and minutes

And postcards and letters

Never sent to you or me, how can this be?



If I could, I would

Write you every word that popped into my head

Like when you're gone, I feel dead on the inside

Where I try to hide, when I know I'm not OK...today



But tonight

You are sleeping in my room

And I know, that the sun will soon

Take you away, for the day

As the bed grows slowly cold

My smile fades away

And I honestly don't know

I honestly don't know

If you and I will grow

Or if one day we'll be OK...



Outside here, it's raining

How sad, dark, gray, and loneliness

Plays with my head

And I don't know if I'm OK

Or if it's just the rain

Inside here, it's raining

Turning everything into mud

How sad, the mold covers my bed

And within all of this bad timing

A new hint of fresh air and reclining

To pretend that everything will be OK...please stay



Because tonight

As you are sleeping in my room

And I know, that the sun will soon

Take you away, for the day

As the bed grows slowly colder

No more head resting on my shoulder

My smile fades away

And I honestly don't know

If you and I will grow

Or if one day we'll be OK...



So I guess I'll pray



With you tonight

As you are sleeping in my room

I know, that the sun will come soon

To take you away, for the day

As the bed grows slowly colder

No more head resting on my shoulder

My smile fades away

And I honestly don't know

If you and I will grow

But for right now, I know we'll be OK...at least today
