"Are You Ok?" lyrics

"Are You Ok?"

I just wanted you to come home
To turn that key, to turn off time
For everything to shine
Are you kind?
Is it you? No, really. Is it you?
Who turns all the good to nothing good, I'll refuse to

Can you give me a clue?
To where you go
When your eyes don't glow
When I lose you to the moon?
You don't want my kiss
But you want my kids
Is that any way, is that any way to live?
Are you OK?

What you running, what you running away from life?
What you running, what you running away to hide?
'Cause I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time
What you running, what you running away from life?
What you running, what you running away to hide?
'Cause I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time

There's a story that you won't tell
It's a cruel dark hole, it's the color of coal
It hides in the belly of your life
It gets worse at night

No stopping an emotional war
I'll give you more, I'll be the soldier at your door
If you want me to
I will come through
I can tear your heart out, I'll help you live
Help this endless powerlessness
Just one kiss

What you running, what you running away from life?
What you running, what you running away to hide?
'Cause I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time
What you running, what you running away from life?
What you running, what you running away to hide?
'Cause I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time
Why you running, why you running away from life?
Why you running, why you running away to hide?
Unless we're running out of time?

I just want you to come home
I just want you to come home
I just thought that you'd come home
Will you ever be mine?
Can you give me a clue?
Can you give me a clue?
What's this story that you won't talk?
What's this story that you won't talk?
Will you ever be mine?
Can you give me a clue?
Can you give me a clue?
What's this story that you won't talk?
What's this story that you won't talk?
There's a story that you won't talk
Will you ever be mine?
Can you give me a clue?
