The World'll Be OK

I talk to you by satellite
I hope before they reach you
The space will make the words sound right
I hear your voice come out the phone
I’d like both ears to hear you
Speak when I’m not on my own
And I forget that I’m not set in stone
I don’t know where to draw the line
The flat horizon stretches out between
Your world and mine
And where I go will follow no design
When I feel
Like the world is lonely
You can heal me when you say
That you know the world’ll be OK
My jaded senses taste the view
The city eye-pollutes you
Makes you yearn for something new
I waste my time with magazines
The pages live life for you
When your needs don’t match your means
But your caress
Will suppress my selfish genes
When I feel
Like the world is lonely
You can heal me when you say
That you know the world’ll be OK
The words we say won’t go away
The meaning hides inside them
Tries to look the other way
And I’ll forget
The words I meant to say
When I feel
Like the world is lonely
You can heal me when you say
That you know the world’ll be OK
I know the world’ll be OK
I know the world’ll be OK
I know the world’ll be OK
I know the world’ll be OK
I know the world’ll be OK
I know the world’ll be OK
I know the world’ll be OK
I know the world’ll be OK
