Everything's Okay

Elliott Smith

    Continues after the ad

    Everything's okay
    Walks along the dock
    With some sailor's pay
    Shoved down in his sock
    Everything's okay
    With some little boy in blue
    Who don't know you like I do

    Everything's okay
    Took him back to town
    Well, I didn't get paid today
    So I'm in the lost and found
    And I wonder if that clown
    Knows just what to do
    What to say and what not to

    The pretty words that you whispered
    Maybe I misunderstood
    Somebody's not paying attention
    What they promised and their word isn't good

    Continues after the ad

    Everything's okay
    I'm looking for you now
    Down here by the bay
    Where the water pounds
    Up against the wall
    That I'm coming to
    Because I can't stay away from you

    I don't need no satisfaction
    And I don't take just because I can
    Sometimes I get a strong impression
    That you just don't understand
    That kind of man

    Everything's okay
    I can see your face
    Down there in the waves
    Painted and erased
    But I'm told it's just
    The reflection of the moon
    A big fake resembling you

    I'm going to go down in the water
    And fill my mouth up full of sand
    And I'll be waiting still impatient
    With my dead imagination
    While you're with some other man

    Everything's okay
    I'll be with you soon
    I'm walking out to place
    My arms around the moon
    Yeah, I'll be with you soon
    Just as soon as I pay
    I'll walk across the water
    Everything's okay
    Walk on the water
    Everything's okay
