Zac Ribblett - O.K. Lyrics

Allow me to set the scene
It'll be a normal day
And everything will seem like it's OK
Just a couple out on the town
Enjoying each others company

But he screws it up
She gets a little ticked
And he proceeds to completely come unhitched
As the day veers wildly off the tracks
And there goes the weekend

And that's something that I think you should know
There's this side of me I try not to show

Cause I feel it slip every now and then
My conscience rips and I'm a different man
It's not who I am or who I want to be
But if it's what I do then is this really me

Just let me hear you say
That it's all OK
Cause I gotta know
That you're gonna be OK with me
Just tell me it's OK

Now try to picture this
He's a quiet kid
Always been a pro at blending in
Cause his well worn poker face
Is good at hiding what's under the surface

And what they can't see is that every day
Every single mistake that he's ever made
Is going on replay inside his head
And when the seams get stretched
They'll start to split

And he feels it slip every now and then
His conscience rips and he's a different man
Like someone trips a switch
It's a triggered defense
Do these stupid metaphors make any sense

Just let me hear you say
That it's all OK
Cause I gotta know
That you're gonna be OK with me
And I find sometimes
Baby I lose my mind
What can I say
Just tell me it's OK

There's something that I think you should know
There's this side of me I try not to show
But sometimes what I've got bottled up
Gets a little hot and it boils over
And it'll burn you if you get too close

Cause I feel it slip every now and then
My conscience rips and I'm a different man
And I feel it slip yeah I slip away
Just a helpless passenger of petty rage
And every day I have to live with the shame
That the things I say are gonna push you away
And I wouldn't blame you if every day
You ask yourself why you stay

Just let me hear you say
That it's all O.K
Cause I gotta know
That you're gonna be OK with me

Just let me hear you say
That it's all OK
Cause I gotta know
That you're gonna be OK with me
And I find sometimes
Baby I lose my mind
What can I say
Just tell me it's OK
