We're Gonna Be Ok
by Egypt Speaks

Album: Wanderer

I've been thinking a lot
About the end of the world
And all of the things
That I love in it
About all of the yesterdays
And all the ways
I wouldn't change it
The lessons that I've learned
And all of their complications
The stories
And their abbreviations

I guess I've just been thinking alot
Maybe waiting for a sign
That I'm in the right place
Even if I can't see the light
I know it's always easier
To navigate in hindsight

I've been thinking a lot
About how all the words
I never thought were filled with anything
Stayed with you
And with them memories
That make you fight
The grin that appears
When they cross your mind
And with that the feeling
Of inside jokes
And childlike laughter
That happens when you give up
Jumping over puddles
And instead run straight into them

I've been thinking a lot
About how I still know
Which steps creak in my parents house
And how I swore
In front of my mother the first time
All because I was upset over a boy
And all she told me
Was to not waste those words on him
And That I was not allowed to marry
Someone That i had
Only just met today
This is not frozen
And there is no open door
No finishing sandwiches which got me to
thinking a lot more
About how trees get knocked over by air
And hold themselves up
So tornadoes of little boys
Can climb up and fall out of them
Only to learn
That the ground still hurts
The next time you fall


I've been thinking a lot
About skinned knees
And cavities
About dentist visits
And fallen trees
And the things
That I know I'll miss when
I leave

About the notes that
I wrote and never sent
And about the things
That got me me all bent out
Of shape

I've been thinking alot
About the amount of times
I've tried to end it
Tempted by an exit sign
At a movie that was
Just too gripping to leave
That's not to say it was good
It's just that without the struggle
It'd be so boring
And I kinda wanna see how it ends
It's like if I left
I would just spoil
The ending
And then I wouldn't ever know
If it was really worth it

I've been thinking alot
About if the hero ever really does get the girl
And if Clark Kent spent a lot of money
On his hair cut
Or where he got his glasses from
About how a wanderer comes home
When its a place she's never actually seen
About what's going to happen to me
If I stop walking
Will I just cease to be
Or find some sort of happiness in the waiting

Can I be content in the hallway
Or will I always be pushing
On another door
Or
Something in between

But I've still been thinking alot
And maybe it's because I've got
Too much spare time
But I cannot help
But see
All of the things we've made it through

You and I have
Tried our hardest
And fought to get the farthest we
Ever have
We have seen sights
That half of me could only dream of
And the other part couldn't dare to believe
And we are still here
Still fighting
Still trying to make something new
Who would have thought
We came all this way to
Give up and go home with nothing
I know the future is in sight
Because I've seen it
It's somewhere on a map
And it's called Montana
With towering mountains of promise
And a place called Billings
That I've always wanted to see
And I will get there soon.

We will get there soon

I've been thinking alot
About this sinking feeling
That I've been left behind
When as far as I can see
Nobody has found the path that
We've taken
And it's really easy to
Think you've gotten lost
When you're creating a new path
But now I'm thinking
Of what they are going to
Say
If the day ever comes that
We cannot speak of our adventures
Or show anyone the way
But regardless of what they tell you
I promise you
That We're going to be ok
