lyrics

Well I had a long night
The longest of my life
But I am glad that it's all over now

People were screaming
I had to lay down
I wanted my feet down on the ground

Had nothing to do
Had to watch the news
Saying the same things on repeat

I tried to get up
It didn't let up
Both of my feet had fallen asleep

When you came in the room lit up
You gave me a reason to sit up
Then I told you something you never thought I'd say

That everything would be alright today
I see a brand new sky that will never go away
The sun is higher than it's ever been before
I see a brand new sky that says
Someone out there loves you more than you love yourself

You came to visit
Had nothing to say
But you just listened anyway

They filled me up with their drugs
But then you hugged me
And all the clouds just went away

And I don't care what they say
Everything in my life's gonna be okay

When you came in the room lit up
You gave me a reason to sit up
I said

That everything would be alright today
I see a brand new sky that will never go away
The sun is higher than it's ever been before
'Cause I love you!
Love you!

But then I was there again
I was so lucid and I just needed a friend
I started crying in the sheets
I looked forward to waiting down by the street
And then I said

That everything would be alright tonight
I saw a brand new sky and I am going to make it alright
What isn't real just waits to be
I think I'll be okay, just you wait and see

Now I'm gonna rest while you listen to the rest of this song!
