Lyrics
It's okay, I'm awake
I just need to lie here all day
No more pills for me to take
I'll fall back asleep until again I wake
Summer's here, but I don't feel the same
So where is that feeling that I used to know
Got my pen in my hand, but the page - it is empty
Got my pen in my hand, but the page - it is empty
What's in my head keeps me from what's in my heart
I know what I must do, I don't know how to start
How much more? How much more?
Please don't send flowers, just leave wine at the door
Got my pen in my hand, but the page - it is empty
Got my pen in my hand, but the page - it is empty
Like your lights in my driveway, I'm slowly slipping, slip-slipping away
Like a leaf in the breezeway
Slow and unassuming, I blew in with the wind
It's okay, I'm awake, It's okay, I'm awake, It's okay, I'm awake, It's okay, it's okay
