This will all make perfect sense someday

I'll be A-Okay

All my bills have all gone paid

I crashed the car again

I broke the bank

This coulda been a slow song

A laundry list of all my wrongs

But at the end of the day

This is my beautiful disaster piece I've made

Gonna laugh I know the pain is here

This will all make perfect sense someday

I'll be A-Okay

There's got to be a reason for the rain

I don't understand the numbers

But my faith is in the math

And come someday these twisted ties will tangle

Will it back in life

And to all the hearts I've broken

And the ones that once broke mine

I've got suspicions, all will be forgiven in time

Gonna look you in the eye and say

This will all make perfect sense someday

I'll be A-Okay

There's got to be a reason for the rain

And if it ever gets bad

I mean stay in bed bad

I'll move to Nova Scotia

Forget the life I had

I'll be up at 9 each morning

Down by the shore

Collecting things that fell off boats in storms

Well ok so I might never

But it's nice to know the option's there

This will all make perfect sense someday

I'll be A-Okay

There's got to be a reason for the rain

And it doesn't help

That i keep biting my lip in the same place
