Not Alright Lyrics

So this is how it happens, you turn your head and you lose direction

And now I feel like a captain, who's lost his way to the ocean

And I remember falling for you like a drop of rain in California

Will we be the same again?

Let's go back to where it began, back to the first time I saw you

Your eyes reflected the Deep Blue

I hope this carries me through

Cause I'm not alright, and the moon don't hang as high

As it did when you were mine

Called to see how you've been, as if to ask for your permission

To close my eyes and listen, to the life I've been missing

I remember laughing with you, fake tattoos in Petaluma

Can we stop and play pretend?

Go back to when we were friends

Back to your room with the window, where I told you I loved you

I just sometimes wish you knew

That I'm not alright and the moon don't hang as high

As it did when you were mine

So I say I'm sorry, for everything I can't be

But now I finally can see, how much that you mean to me

And then I say I miss you and that's the most I'll admit to

From a seed this tree grew, I will never forget you

But I'm not alright and the moon don't shine tonight

Like it did when you were mine

And my blood's the darkest wine

That we drank on the shoreline, just wait and I'll be fine
