OK
The Dumes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you need a paper bag to breathe into, air from your lungs, I can be one. Walking around in your shiny armor, weighing you down. Somehow when you're battle stancing, can you try to find your hand in mine cnd you'll be ok, let me find a match in the dark I won't walk away, wish we knew what to do what to do with that worn out heart The truth is, the truth sucks, there's nothing you can do. ct least you've got me, at least I've got you. We'll be ok, ok someday We'll be ok, walking away from yesterday There used to be days I'd lay around faded Thought it'd be fun, trying to feel something I couldn't think of how to explain it, tip of my tongue Staring at the bathroom mirror Said you'll be ok, let me find a match in the dark I won't walk away, wish we knew what to do what to do with that worn out heart The truth is, the truth sucks, there's nothing you can do. ct least you've got me, and at least I've got you. The truth is, the truth sucks, there's nothing we can do. The truth is the truth, there's nothing we can do. ct least you've got me, and at least I've got you. We'll be ok, ok someday We'll be ok walking away from yesterday Ok ok someday We'll be ok walking away from yesterday Ok ok someday We'll be ok walking away from yesterday
