Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thank the Lord I am here and now, here and now
Summer dress, favorite park
Bless your soul, we are here and now, here and now
I'm wide awake, so what's the point of dreaming when your life is great?
Celebrate the feeling, celebrate the feeling
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
We're screaming out, we're screaming out, I believe we'll be okay
Sun kissed skin on my lips
Thank the Lord I am here and now, here and now
Fireflies after dark
Bless your soul, we are here and now, here and now
I'm wide awake, so what's the point of dreaming when your life is great?
Celebrate the feeling, celebrate the feeling
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
We're screaming out, we're screaming out, I believe we'll be okay
We'll be okay
We'll be okay
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
We're screaming out, we're screaming out, I believe we'll be okay

The chorus repeats that he can't complain about much these days, and he believes they will be okay, celebrating the feeling of being alive.
The first two lines of the lyrics state "Fresh cut grass, one cold beer. Thank the Lord I am here and now, here and now".

The singer is thankful for being present in the moment, feeling alive and cherishing his surroundings. The line "I'm wide awake, so what's the point of dreaming when your life is great?" suggests that the singer doesn't want to miss out on living in the moment and wants to soak up every opportunity.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay" which is a positive affirmation of living a good life.
