Television / So Far So Good
Rex Orange County Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey
I'm not afraid, I can be myself and I
Hope you can be yourself as well
'Cause I can make you feel alright
And there was so much happiness that
We were still yet to find
I said that you can call me Alex, baby
Welcome to my life

But don't you worry, don't you, don't worry, girl
No, I'm not sure if I'm into you
The last time that you checked I was probably so sad and confused
I don't know, no, I don't know what you like
But if you're lookin' for somethin' new
I know somebody that you could choose

What about me?
What about me?
What about me and you together?
Somethin' that could really last forever
What about me?
What about me?
What about me and you together?
Somethin' that could really last forever

If all my friends wanna be in her bed
Then I begin to wonder why
I guess that I'd be lyin' to myself
Because who the fuck would be dumb enough
To reject an offer? Oh, what an offer
Now, two, two, ten, one, five
Couple hours can change your life
Frankie sayin', "Oh what a night?" What a night?
What the fuck is a girlfriend? I'ma need advice
Maybe I should go outside so I could get a fucking life
I made a friend and she spent the night, and now

I'm in love and she remains in my life
And back when we spoke in Europe
I need insurance, on my emotions
I can't get hurt again
Fuck the past, fuck them, they all made me sad
And I had no time to prepare to face my fears
I guess that it's time that I dried these tears

But if I could just be happy by the end of this song
But if by the time you hear it, you are already gone
And it didn't go to plan, then why should I continue in this life
When there's no one around to be the one who makes me smile?

But so far everything's good
(Ooh)
Oh, oh
Whoa, whoa, oh-whoa, oh
Said, so far everything's good
No
Oh-no-no
No-no-no, no, no, oh, oh





I want the crowd in tears when they hear this
Is that so wrong?

Welcome to my life

But don't you worry, don't you, don't worry, girl
Stay calm, no need to panic


No, I'm not sure if I'm into you
I haven't developed feelings for you


The last time that you checked I was probably so sad and confused
I was going through a tough time


I don't know, no, I don't know what you like
I'm not familiar with your preferences


But if you're lookin' for somethin' new
If you want to try something different


I know somebody that you could choose
I have a recommendation for you


What about me?
Can we explore something together?


What about me and you together?
The potential for a relationship


Somethin' that could really last forever
A long-lasting connection


If all my friends wanna be in her bed
If everyone desires the same thing


Then I begin to wonder why
I question my own desires


I guess that I'd be lyin' to myself
I'm not being true to my own feelings


Because who the fuck would be dumb enough
It would be foolish to reject someone


To reject an offer? Oh, what an offer
An amazing opportunity


Now, two, two, ten, one, five
Numbers without any significant meaning


Couple hours can change your life
Small moments can make a big difference


Frankie sayin', 'Oh what a night?' What a night?
A reference to a classic song


What the fuck is a girlfriend? I'ma need advice
I'm not sure what a girlfriend really is


Maybe I should go outside so I could get a fucking life
I need to be more active and achieve more


I made a friend and she spent the night, and now
I formed a connection and it's evolved into something more


I'm in love and she remains in my life
I've found love and it's ongoing


And back when we spoke in Europe
A memory from the past


I need insurance, on my emotions
I need protection from heartache


I can't get hurt again
I'm afraid of being hurt like before


Fuck the past, fuck them, they all made me sad
I'm leaving negative experiences behind


And I had no time to prepare to face my fears
I wasn't ready for difficult challenges


I guess that it's time that I dried these tears
It's time to move forward


But if I could just be happy by the end of this song
A wish for happiness


But if by the time you hear it, you are already gone
If it's too late for us


And it didn't go to plan, then why should I continue in this life
If things don't work out, why bother trying?


When there's no one around to be the one who makes me smile?
When there's no one to bring happiness to my life?


But so far everything's good
Things are positive for now


(Ooh)
A vocal sound without any significant meaning


Oh, oh
An expression of excitement


Whoa, whoa, oh-whoa, oh
A vocal sound without any significant meaning


Said, so far everything's good
Things are still going well


No
An indication of negativity


Oh-no-no
An expression of uncertainty


No-no-no, no, no, oh, oh
A vocal sound without any significant meaning


I want the crowd in tears when they hear this
An ambitious goal for emotional impact


Is that so wrong?
A rhetorical question asking for validation
