I'm OK
I-Octane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw you just yesterday
And you asked if I was okay
Yeah, I lied to you yesterday
I keep on lying and I keep on lying
Maybe the world has just spun the wrong way
And weโ€™re growing in reverse just needing escape
โ€˜Cause I donโ€™t feel grown up yet
I donโ€™t have my shit fixed
Iโ€™m not an adult yet
Donโ€™t know what Iโ€™m doing
Sleepy days too plentiful
To escape the everyday
My worries are too physical
I wish I could shake them
I wish I could shake them
Never thought that Iโ€™d get this far
Never thought Iโ€™d make it out alive
My past wasnโ€™t worth dying for
But damn it really fucking tried
I swear that Iโ€™m fine
I swear Iโ€™m okay
Iโ€™m doing real fine
Iโ€™m doing real great
Hope youโ€™re well but
Letโ€™s not dwell
There's nothing wrong
Iโ€™m okay! Iโ€™m okay!
But then there are days
When the Foodโ€™s left untouched
And youโ€™re worried and think it might just be enough
And Iโ€™m waiting for that last straw to break
Worried and waiting for better days
And the demons they just wonโ€™t go away
And those skeletons creep out of closets one day
Keep those closets shut and change your name
Cut your hair off again and move to another state
And maybe Iโ€™m losing it
Maybe Iโ€™m losing it
Is this my life or just my mistakes
Maybe Iโ€™m through with this
Maybe Iโ€™m losing this
But I keep working for better days
I swear that Iโ€™m fine
I swear Iโ€™m okay
Iโ€™m doing real fine
Iโ€™m doing real great
Hope youโ€™re well but
Letโ€™s not dwell
There's nothing wrong
Iโ€™m okay! Iโ€™m okay!
I swear that Iโ€™m fine
I swear Iโ€™m okay
Iโ€™m doing real fine
Iโ€™m doing real great
Hope youโ€™re well but
Letโ€™s not dwell
There's nothing wrong
Iโ€™m okay! Iโ€™m okay!
The thoughts in the back of my head
Told me not to trust anyone much
The worries I hold within me
They like to come out at night
Maybe I should fix my head
Maybe Iโ€™m losing it
Maybe Iโ€™m losing it
Maybe the past
Was better instead
Maybe Iโ€™m losing it
Maybe Iโ€™m losing it
Maybe I should just
Kill myself, dead
Um Just kidding
I swear that Iโ€™m fine
I swear Iโ€™m okay
Iโ€™m doing real fine
Iโ€™m doing real great
Hope youโ€™re well but
Letโ€™s not dwell
There's nothing wrong
Iโ€™m okay! Iโ€™m okay!
I swear that Iโ€™m fine
I swear Iโ€™m okay
Iโ€™m doing real fine
Iโ€™m doing real great
Hope youโ€™re well but
Letโ€™s not dwell
There's nothing wrong
Iโ€™m okay! Iโ€™m okay!
I swear that Iโ€™m fine
I swear Iโ€™m okay
Iโ€™m doing real fine
Iโ€™m doing real great
Hope youโ€™re well but
Letโ€™s not dwell
There's nothing wrong
Iโ€™m okay! Iโ€™m okay!
I swear Iโ€™ll be okay
Just give me a few more days
I swear Iโ€™ll be alright
If I could just sleep through the night
I swear Iโ€™ll be okay
Just give me a few more days
I swear Iโ€™ll be fine




I swear Iโ€™ll be okay
Just want to be okay
