[Verse 1]
I say to myself
Self, why are you awake again? It's 1 AM
Standing with the fridge wide open, starin'
Such a sight, florescent light
The stars are bright
Might make a wish, if I believed in that shit, but
As it is, I might watch TV
'Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me

[Pre-Chorus]
I say to myself, as I smile at the wall
Just let myself fall

[Chorus]
It's gonna be alright, no matter what they say
Gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be alright, 'cause I'm alright with me
It's gotta be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be

[Verse 2]
I shiver, shut the door
Can't think, standing here no more
I'm alone, my mind's racing, heart breakin'
Can you be everything I need you to be?
Can you protect me like a daughter?
Can you love me like a father?
Can you drink me like water?
Say I'm like the desert, just way hotter

[Pre-Chorus]
The point of it all
Is that if I should fall
Still you're name I'll call

[Chorus]
It's gonna be alright, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be OK, 'cause I'm OK with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be

[Bridge]
As long as we laugh out loud
And laugh like we're mad
'Cause this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have
Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch, a joke we can't catch
God, but still we laugh

[Pre-Chorus]
Get back in bed, turn off the TV
You say, "It'll be alright, baby, just wait and see"

[Chorus]
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay
It's gonna be alright, just wait and see
It's gonna be alright, no matter what they say
Gonna be a good day, just wait, just see
Gonna be okay, 'cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be okay
Oh, oh, oh, aye, oh, aye, oh
Aye, oh, aye, oh, aye, oh, aye, oh

[Outro]
Uh-oh, I'm awake again
It's 1 AM
Starin'
Such a sight
Well... at least the stars are bright
