Better Than Okay

Song Description

I keep feeling like I've forgotten something; as if something is wrong; something is out of place. I seem to worry so much that I'm never letting myself be happy. How am I feeling? Okay. As if there's a film over my emotions. I wish that I could feel something more than okay. I wish that I could feel more.

Lyrics

lately, when I wake up, it seems I'd rather be asleep
because when I get up, I feel I'm moving through a dream
I can't quite put my finger on it
on the tip of my tongue but it's forgotten
can't understand why I feel so lost, it's gaining on me

Okay, wish worry wouldn't creep in my mind
okay, that shoulda, coulda didn't waste my time
okay, that I were happy just with today
I wish that I felt better than, better than okay

I wish for the ending, of each day to hurry on
why there's no pending, plan to make me strong
the strange. thing. is. I've no real complaints
there is noth.ing. wrong. with today
obsessing over what I can't change, do I belong

Okay, wish worry wouldn't creep in my mind
okay, that shoulda, coulda didn't waste my time
okay, that I were happy just with today
I wish that I felt better than, better than okay

there's a taste in my mouth like a memory
like I'm missing some major piece
something I was supposed to be
I need some clarity

Okay, wish worry wouldn't creep in my mind
okay, that shoulda, coulda didn't waste my time
okay, that I were happy just with today
I wish that I felt better than, better than okay
