We're Gonna Be OK
Taylor John Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you fought like a soldier
but you
came up short in all of this
your mind is sought from
the thinking you told me
too much thinking about it
so you move on to God knows where
you build it up just enough
to watch it fall
to pieces that don't look the same at all
but we can make it out of here
it's you I never to miss
and darling don't forget that we're
we're better than this
cause even in the darkest nights
even in the blinding days
I can see you by my side
we're gonna be ok
we'll be ok
I don't belong... to
anyone... who
lives and calls this place their home
and you don't belong to anyone too
and that means me
so baby off you go
and you move on to God knows where
I may go here I may stay there
we'll build this love just enough to let it fall
to pieces that don't look the same at all
to pieces that don't look the same at all
but we can make it out of here
it's you I never want to miss
and darling don't forget that we're
we're better than this
cause even in the darkest nights
even in the blinding days
I can see you by may side
we're gonna be ok
we'll be ok
we'll be ok
(indistinct oohs)
