lyrics
It’s all right to not be okay
There’s no such thing as perfect anyway
We’re all growing out of an overheating planet
That’s not a metaphor – when I look at my hands
I see leaves at the ends of knobby little branches
Attached to a trunk that walks around and talks about itself all day
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
Everybody on the tv is trying to convince me
That it’ll all be better if I would only
Buy whatever clever thing they’re selling me this week
So I sit under a tree that looks a lot like me
And all I can say is
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
I don’t make the rules but then neither do you
We’re all stumbling around in search of some kind of clue
About who and why and where the fuck we are anyway
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
There’s no such thing as perfect anyway
We’re all growing out of an overheating planet
That’s not a metaphor – when I look at my hands
I see leaves at the ends of knobby little branches
Attached to a trunk that walks around and talks about itself all day
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
Everybody on the tv is trying to convince me
That it’ll all be better if I would only
Buy whatever clever thing they’re selling me this week
So I sit under a tree that looks a lot like me
And all I can say is
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
I don’t make the rules but then neither do you
We’re all stumbling around in search of some kind of clue
About who and why and where the fuck we are anyway
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
It’s all right to not be okay
