all right
Birdman Bobby Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I talked their ears off tonight
It felt so amazing to share
And though I veered from the right
It felt as though nobody cared
So long as I
Continue to confine
I saw a glimmer in the eye
Of anyone that tried to shine

With the light
From inside
It's unbeatable I find
That every single time I try
It's all right

It's all right
It's all right

I talked their ears off tonight
I spoke at length to those around me today

It felt so amazing to share
Sharing my thoughts and feelings with others was a gratifying experience

And though I veered from the right
Despite deviating from the correct path

It felt as though nobody cared
It seemed like no one showed any concern despite my deviation

So long as I
As long as I continue to

Continue to confine
Limit myself and remain within certain boundaries

I saw a glimmer in the eye
I noticed the slightest hint of something in someone's expression

Of anyone that tried to shine
Of those who attempted to stand out or excel

With the light
Using the essence or energy

From inside
Contained within oneself or one's being

It's unbeatable I find
I have discovered that it is impossible to surpass
