I’m Alright Now

The tide came in and nearly buried us here
But we saw things like they wouldn't believe
You hear a lot of stories about love and romance
But I swear nothing quite like you and me

And every scar sits like a marker
Every line on the face is a small souvenir
Of all the places be they good or be they bad
That we stopped into on the journey to here

So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now

There were times when, yeah alright, I'll confess
I did things of which I am not proud
Everybody wades through the same coloured shit
But it doesn't drag everyone down

And I was stupid, I was insensitive
I was all the things I promised I never would be
I've seen a lot of foolish behaviour in my time
But tell you they've got nothing on me

So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now

Give me strength, give me something to believe in
And I'm alright now
Sing along when your hearts finished bleeding
Yeah, I'm alright now

Another evening of sublime self-destruction
To the tune of a thousand cigarettes
Where every nail that's hammered into your spirit
Well, it wasn't able to sink you just yet

And television is just some weak anesthetic
To numb the senses till you're out like a light
Like all these drugs, they seem to promise you the earth
But then they don't keep you warm in the night

So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now

Give me strength, give me something to believe in
And I'm alright now
Sing along when your hearts finished bleeding
Yeah, I'm alright now
Alright
Alright

It's like I cannot sleep for dreaming
This is everything I could have possibly hoped it would be
A lot of stories will end happy ever after
But I swear, nothing quite like you and me
