Seanie got in way above his head A middle class kid drowning in the deep end A cardboard gangster putting up a front Looking for danger well how much do you want? You've gotta dig deeper than that You've gotta try a little harder than that It's not okay to be okay Don't let the world get in the way Quit hanging on yesterday Don't let the world get in the way It's alright, not okay She was a kick out kid from the city He knew right there and then she would break his heart She was cold as ice, pretty as a picture A little irish soul, a perfect work of art You've gotta dig deeper than that You've gotta try a little harder than that It's not okay to be okay Don't let the world get in the way Quit hanging on yesterday Don't let the world get in the way It's not okay to be okay Don't let the world get in the way Quit hanging on yesterday Don't let the world get in the way There's no going back only getting even Don't be taken in by the promises and dreamers And all those barstool preachers Untrue lovers and fallen angels Don't have the courage of their convictions Hang on to your st.
