Okay
No Atlas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been resting with you next to me
wondering when you'll get to see
All these things
That I've got planned

Sitting silent like a pictureframe
Open eyelids watching when you say
"Darling, I...
I'll be yours 'till I die"

And here... I feel safe
But still... I'm away from you

And I do not know where to go
How to wake up and feel like home
And I will not sleep
'Till I somehow wind up in your sheets

And maybe
It'll feel like I'm okay

Nothing ever makes me wish to be
gone away from you
That's honesty
I will lay
in your arms forever

And everything's been falling into place
It's about time something went astray
Just to mix it up
So we've got something to fix

And here... I feel safe
But still
I'm away from you

And I do not know where to go
How to wake up and feel like home
And I will not sleep
'Till I somehow wind up in your sheets

And maybe it'll feel like I'm okay
okay
okay
okay





and maybe it'll feel like I'm
okay

Got my eyes on the computer screen, tryna work my digits in
fidget with the lettering but never with my sentences
pause check the clock, and it appears it's six a.m. again
another night wasted or another day finished
and my mind is steady running in place
i don't wanna fall asleep, 'cause i've got so much to say
but i don't wanna stay awake and keep exhaustion at bay
because i presently just dead inside the bed where i lay
i might as well work now, maybe it could suffice
as more a method of confusion than a dip into life
it's like my body parts are planning out an intricate heist
except my mind is been logged in on a different device
and my session expired, i'm exceptionally tired
every step is like fire straight from my head to my toes
see, i'm an excellent liar when i've slept the required
8 or 7 hours prior, but at present i'ma go the fuck to sleep and uh--

"Let's get some good nights rest that sounds like a good plan. well, goodnight"
bwoooooooooomp
"God its morning already, alright fine up I'm up."

okay rise and shine, hello to the ladybugs
insert several other stupid phrases about waking up
rub the sleep out of my eyes and view the clock that hangs above
and hit the snooze a couple times to keep my hours 8 or plus
check my phone once, twice, three times, four
just so i can see the second i'm messaged by mon amour
for a date or a small excursion straight to a donut store
where i'm holding an open door to convey that i'm spoken for
and it's great, it's a total score, it's a wonderful set of things
that exist in my present bubble of love where the petals sing
as they're blooming on every flower, moving to better springs
engulfed in a heavy shower of rain that the weather brings
and, even though my days might be presented slow
they pass before my eyes at higher rates than even engines go
and the cycle will repeat itself like history and reddit posts
so what's the point in fighting it? i'm staying up and letting go
