Alright Alright - Trevor Menear

Restless in the morning light

And they’ve been catching on to you

Standing in the mountains of your clothes

And can’t even come to find your shoes

Now I don’t want to hold you back

But if I don’t lend a hand don’t be alarmed, I-

I ain’t trying to beg

But you’ve got me turning back the clock

Oh, long nights

That were damn well spent

To wake to a sight like yourself

I don’t, I don’t mind

Being a prisoner in your rainy day

It’s alright, it’s alright with me

You know I’ve grown to love your innocence

But I dig the darker shades, did you?

Like the shades when you won’t hesitate, darling

To shut the lights off on this running world of crazy fools

And they’re all fools

So wave away and let them crash behind

And set your flowers on the dash

Sleep above the echos and the broken glass

And rip this joint made to burn, burn your past

Oh, long nights

They were damn well spent

To wake to a sight like yourself

I don’t, I don’t mind

Being a prisoner in your rainy day

And if I have to leave it all behind

It’s alright with me

It’s alright, yes, it is

As the newspaper waits at your door in it’s place

Only left here to read from the lines on your face

When the puddles get deep and our hair grows too long

We’ll find comfort in things that used to feel wrong

Hearing the waves as they trample the streets

But your whisper is so bold and it sings me to sleep

And now you sit on the floor and you pull down the blinds

You may never get back but it’s a fortunate fight

Yes, it is

Don’t do it, don’t do it to me, let up and cave

Don’t do it, don’t do it to me

Don’t do it, don’t do it to me

You know it’s alright
