I'll Be OK - Reed Deming

I am diving headfirst, far as I can go

I don’t know what’s under the waves that crash below

But I know that I must do this for my heart’s sanity

I hope that all these feelings will make sense eventually

And I hope that I’m not crazy, for I am so young

And I know I’m so impulsive, but I’m so in love

And so I look down, but solid ground has vanished from my feet

I am seconds from the water, I’m already in too deep to turn back

But the water from the waves lays a kiss upon my face

And pulls me in a warm embrace

And for the first time, I know I’ll be O. K

And for the first time, I know I’ll be O. K

I dive into the ocean, and I lay down my guard

I swim into the trenches, a muse within my heart

And I know I must keep going to the lonely ocean floor

All the sunlight disappearing, and I can’t see anymore

There is something in the darkness, but I don’t know where

I feel a pain deep in my chest, I desperately need air

And so I look up to the surface but it’s too far away

And then a moment of realization, I know that it’s too late to be saved

And when I can’t take anymore, my lover pulls me to the shore

Holds me close and keeps me warm

And for the first time, I know that I’ve been saved

And I promise I’ll never swim away

Now I know I’ll be O. K

Forever, I know I’ll be O. K
