R.E.M. - Make It All Okay lyrics
[R.E.M. - Make It All Okay lyrics]
You threw away the ballast and
You rowed your boat ashore
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
You made your ultimatum too big to ignore
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
So you worked out your excuses
Turned away and shut the door
The world's too vast for us now
And you wanted to explore
It's a long, long, long road
And I don't know which way to go
If you offered me your hand again
I'd have to walk away
When I saw you at the street fair
You called out my name
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
You said we could start over
Try and make it all okay
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
So our past has been rewritten
And you threw away the pen
You said that I was useless
But now you'll take me in again
Well, Jesus loves me fine
And your words fall flat this time
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say
"We don't have a prayer between us"
Didn't you believe that I
Have finally turned away?
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
Anything to hold onto to help
Me through my day
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
But Jesus loves me fine
But His words fall flat this time
It's a long, long, long road
And I don't know which way to go
If you offered me your world
Did you think I'd really stay?
If you offered me the heavens
I would have to turn away
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say
"We don't have a prayer between us"
Didn't you, now, didn't you, now?
Didn't you?
You rowed your boat ashore
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
You made your ultimatum too big to ignore
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
So you worked out your excuses
Turned away and shut the door
The world's too vast for us now
And you wanted to explore
It's a long, long, long road
And I don't know which way to go
If you offered me your hand again
I'd have to walk away
When I saw you at the street fair
You called out my name
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
You said we could start over
Try and make it all okay
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
So our past has been rewritten
And you threw away the pen
You said that I was useless
But now you'll take me in again
Well, Jesus loves me fine
And your words fall flat this time
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say
"We don't have a prayer between us"
Didn't you believe that I
Have finally turned away?
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
Anything to hold onto to help
Me through my day
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
But Jesus loves me fine
But His words fall flat this time
It's a long, long, long road
And I don't know which way to go
If you offered me your world
Did you think I'd really stay?
If you offered me the heavens
I would have to turn away
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say
"We don't have a prayer between us"
Didn't you, now, didn't you, now?
Didn't you?
