Someday You'll Wake up Okay

College town post-halloween

Twenty somethings remembering

They signed up to be something

Call your mom and tell her you’re flourishing

So many ways to hide yourself

Trade a costume in, pick another out

Just a holiday, just a major,

Just a dorm night out in some make up

I see you smiling on the corner by the Dunkin

You’re not having any fun, and honestly

Neither is anyone

You won’t believe me,

So I think it from the car

I know it seems so far

But it’s possible, whatever happens,

You’re gonna be alright

You’re gonna be alright

It’s possible, it’ll happen

You’re gonna wake up feeling better

It’s gonna feel better

It’s possible

Bedroom floor, 2008

Love the lord, your soul to save

Cry the sinner’s prayer out the window

See the crossing stars as a symbol

So many ways to hate yourself

Feel something good from the shoulders down

It’s morning grace, it’s addiction

It’s a transformation prescription

I see you pulling at the sweater on your shoulders

You’re acting so much older than you need to

No one told you that’s not freedom

You won’t hear me

But I’ll think it from the future

I’ll believe enough for you, so

It’s possible, whatever happens,

You’re gonna be alright

You’re gonna be alright

It’s possible, it’ll happen

You’re gonna wake up feeling better

It’s gonna feel better

It’s possible

You won’t believe it if I tell you now

Just entertain the possibility somehow

You’ll never see it coming

Never see it becoming this way

But someday you’ll wake up okay
