OK
Drew Barrett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How would you live your life if today it was your last day
What would you do, would you say, would you do things any differently
And how would you live your life if you knew it would be taken away
Now I can't remember a time, a time when I was worry free
The best I can do is remember my youth, but there was pain there too
And starting today I’m gonna make a change, ain’t gonna dig my own grave
I’m sick of putting off today for tomorrow
Been sick of drowning here in my own sorrow
I’m gonna make a change, a change for the better
And get myself out of this stormy weather
Oh, and now I'm tired of the way, been sick and tired of the way of giving up every day
I know it's gonna be ok, sh*t works itself out every day, no need to run and escape
Cause it's gonna be OK
Sun’s gonna take away my rainy days
And no need to worry your life away
Cause there's a brighter side to everything
And everything is gonna be OK
Now if you’ve been hurt the way that I’ve been hurt then you would understand
Why it’s so hard for me to open my heart, you see why I’m in a jam
But I’m gonna love, I’m gonna love from the heart, I’m gonna make a new start
Been sick and tired of all my inner struggles
I’m gonna make a change, a change on the double
And put an end to fear and senseless worry
And get myself out of this place in hurry
Oh, and now I'm tired of the way that I’ve been crying & afraid, just giving up every day
I know it's gonna be ok, aint gonna worry life away
No need to run and escape
Cause it's gonna be OK
Sun’s gonna take away my rainy days
And no need to worry your life away
Cause there's a brighter side to everything
And everything is gonna be OK
And even if the clouds rain on my parade
I'm gonna keep a smile upon my face
Gonna live like every day is my last day
Starting with today
Oh, and now I'm tired of the way, been sick and tired of the way of giving up every day
I’m gonna rid myself of pain, I'm gonna stop my worrying, been my own worst enemy
But somehow I know it'll be OK
Sun’s gonna take away my rainy days
And no need to worry your life away
Cause there's a brighter side to everything
And everything is gonna be OK
Oh its gonna be OK
Oh oh oh oh OK
And no more worrying
Cause everything is gonna be OK




I'm sick of putting off today for tomorrow
Been sick of drowning here in my own sorrow
