"okay" lyrics

"okay"
(feat. Julia Michaels)

I bought that pillow on the couch 'cause it reminded
Me of the colors on your wall I thought you'd like it
I don't want this to be my last time in this apartment
Ooh

You took a day and made some space for me to move in
Said I could take the bottom drawer so that's what I did
You told me I was all you want so now what's changed it?
Ooh

Is it wrong to think you're sadistic?
I know you're sleeping perfect
While I'm over here hurting

I'm gonna be okay
Right?
I'm gonna be okay
Right?
I wish I could tell myself that at night
I'm gonna be okay, right?

Don't check my phone
I know for sure you haven't called me
I fill my days with stupid shit to keep me busy
Instead of you I'm ending every night with whiskey
Ooh

Is it wrong to think you're sadistic?
I know you're sleeping perfect
While I'm over here hurting

I'm gonna be okay
Right?
I'm gonna be okay
Right?
I wish I could tell myself that at night
I'm gonna be okay, right?
If I go insane
(If I go insane)
I got you to blame
(I got you to blame)
At least that's what I tell myself at night
I'm gonna be okay, right?
(I'm gonna be okay)

Ooh
I kinda knew this would hurt just a little too much
Ooh, ooh
I kinda knew this would hurt just a little too much

I'm gonna be okay
Right?
I'm gonna be okay
Right?
I wish I could tell myself that at night
I'm gonna be okay, right?
If I go insane
(If I go insane)
I got you to blame, right?
(If I, if I)
At least that's what I tell myself at night
I'm gonna be okay, right?
(I'm gonna be okay)
(Right, right)


Writer(s): Julia Michaels, Paul Jason Klein
This is the first collaboration between LANY and Julia Michaels. The band met her at Conway Recording Studios. Paul Klein recalled, "She talked to me about some guy she had a crush on, and I was like, 'I just can't even look at girls right now,' because I still loved this girl that totally wrecked me. At the end of my whole two-hour spiel, I think I said to her, 'I'm gonna be okay. Right?' And she's like, 'Write that right now.'"
The band announced "okay" on Twitter on the 22nd of April 2019, "hi our song "okay' w/ @juliamichaels drops 9am pst on tuesday apr 23 xx."
Julia Michaels explained this collaborative effort by saying, "I really cherish people that have honest perspectives and want to write from a very conversational standpoint and write something very specific about their lives. When we wrote together for the first time, it was like that right off the bat."
