Everything's Gonna Be Alright
Shane Filan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're dodging curveballs till you're spinning round and round
But I know a place where we can go
We can leave all our troubles right outside the door
So baby don't be afraid
We can let ourselves go
Coz we don't have to work tomorrow
So glad the week is over
I can't wait to not be sober
I'll meet you at the bar
And we leave our worries in the jar
Been waiting all day for your red wine kiss
When I'm with you, you make me feel this world is not going to take us down tonight
And everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
I think its time we order up another round
I'll be singing karaoke bringing the ceiling down
I can't remember now I was making a slow
All I know is I'm so happy and you're so beautiful
Baby we're well on our way
And we are letting ourselves go
We don't have to work tomorrow and we can take a taxi home
So glad the week is over
I can't wait to not be sober
I'll meet you at the bar
And we leave our worries in the jar
Been waiting all day for your red wine kiss
When I'm with you, you make me feel this world is not going to bring us down tonight
And everything's gonna be alright (wo oh, oh)
Everything's gonna be alright (yeah, yeah)
A little less thinking, a lot more drinking
A little less talking, a lot more kissing
(Oh, Ah) I love just being here with you
A little less thinking, a lot more drinking
A little less talking, a lot more kissing
(Oh, Ah) I love just being here with you
So glad the week is over
I can't wait to not be sober
I'll meet you at the bar
And we leave our worries in the jar
Been waiting all day for your red wine kiss
When I'm with you, you make me feel this world is not going to take us down tonight
And everything's gonna be alright (wo oh, oh)
Everything's gonna be alright (yeah, yeah)
Everything's gonna be alright (wo oh, oh)
Everything's gonna be alright (yeah, yeah)
As long as I'm with you

Sometimes life's gonna knock you down
Life can be tough and bring you down at times
You're dodging curveballs till you're spinning round and round
You're constantly avoiding unexpected problems and feeling disoriented
But I know a place where we can go
There's a place where we can escape and take a break from all the chaos
We can leave all our troubles right outside the door
We can forget about our problems for a while and just enjoy the moment
So baby don't be afraid
Don't worry or be scared about what's going to happen
We can let ourselves go
We can relax and have fun without any reservations
Coz we don't have to work tomorrow
We don't have any responsibilities the next day
And we can take a taxi home
We can enjoy ourselves and not worry about how we're getting back
So glad the week is over
Happy that the work week has ended
I can't wait to not be sober
Excited to have a good time without being sober
I'll meet you at the bar
I'll see you at the designated spot
And we leave our worries in the jar
We don't bring our problems or worries with us as we have fun
Been waiting all day for your red wine kiss
Anticipating and longing for a kiss from the person they're with
When I'm with you, you make me feel this world is not going to take us down tonight
When together, nothing seems impossible and no problem will ruin the night
And everything's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay and work out in the end
I think it's time we order up another round
Let's get another drink
I'll be singing karaoke bringing the ceiling down
Enjoying oneself by singing karaoke
I can't remember now I was making a slow
I can't recall what I was doing a moment ago
All I know is I'm so happy and you're so beautiful
Despite the ambiguity, all that is relevant is that they're both happy and in each other's company
Baby we're well on our way
They're moving towards having a great and relaxed time together
A little less thinking, a lot more drinking
Less overthinking and more letting loose and having fun
A little less talking, a lot more kissing
Less talking and more showing affection
(Oh, Ah) I love just being here with you
Expressing love and enjoyment for the moment with the person they're with
Everything's gonna be alright (wo oh, oh)
Everything will be okay and work out in the end
As long as I'm with you
Having a great time when with the person they're with
