lyrics

Warm against his summer love
They’ve finally seen it through
Her hand finds comfort in his touch
While others just make do
With lullabies, familiar sighs
Embedded in their chests
Rehearsed so well and set between
The verses they know best

You know it’s just alright
The sick one’s singing prayers tonight
You know it’s just alright if he stands with me

We see summer dawns like winter nights
I’m stubborn in the cold
For all I claim to know and feel
I’ve never felt that old
It’s the way I laugh shows where I stand
And not the way I cry
Missteps can put on quite a show
If you let them slide on by

You know it’s just alright
The sick one’s singing prayers tonight
You know it’s just alright if he stands with me

You know it’s not so trite
Letters made of tea and street lights
You know it’s just alright if it’s half that easy

I breathe so much cleaner after spring
I’m careless with goodbyes
She’ll see him when she’s settled in
The company’s always nice
I’m mapping out some new traditions
Makeshift holidays
Don’t know if they’ll survive the season
But I know they’re here to stay

You know it’s not the fight
It’s the thirteen hour mornings keeping me uptight
But you know it’s just alright
You know it’s just alright
You know it’s just alright
Guess it’s bound to be
