OK Now

I brush the crumbs of the celebration

From my new black tie

Brush them off my lips

With my fingertips

I’ve always been hungry

I’ve been hungry my whole life

Not just meal to meal

But between every single bite

And the party is ending

I watch the bride, she’s clearing plates

Can I try your wine for the seventh time

She laughs over her shoulder

And that lifts me from the stage

Not one inch

But in every other way

Ok now

Ok now

In your canvas gown

And your crown of flowers

And the sun goes down and you’re silhouetted

Ok now

Now I get it

Oh what a lovely party

You know it doesn’t have to end

I could stick around

Till the tent comes down

I’m grateful for you honey

I’m grateful we’re still friends

And when you leave

I’ll be grateful that you left

Ok now

Ok now

In your mother’s gown

And this crown of flowers

Trading vows with the one you’re loving

Ok now

Now we’re on to something

You’re ok now

You’re ok now
