Everything's okay


My angel says everything’s okay
Down there by the bay
Where I’ll be laying my head later tonight
When the time is right, when my thoughts are bright

Where he waits for me to whisper
About the life that we both see
Where derision is never found
Where we can just be.

My angel is so pretty, no paint can express
I’ll let my thoughts make him see
That he has more than what it takes
To keep away past mistakes.

And I wonder if she ever kissed your knees?
Did she compare you to trees
Was she melted by love for you and wild
Did she ever protect you like a child

Did she cherish your temples, and adore your eyes?
Did she take in your cries
Did she love your heart the way you should have done
Did she listen to its beat and know you’re the one

Or was she your miss misery
That loves company?


I’m down here by the waves
Where your face can’t be erased
In the quietness I hear your heart speaking
Everything’s okay, this heart is beating.

All around and deep inside
You are still breathing.
