Everything's Fine Album Lyrics by Matt Corby

Problems

You can take your complications
And shove it where the sun don't shine
To create something to benefit all humankind

You can curb your conversations
It's counter to the times
You're dampening the fire that fuels every mind
Fuels every mind

Don't be so complacent
When you're passing out the fruit from the vine
You take advantage of those who can't reach up that high

Don't take out your frustrations on those in your line
It's regrettable you've turned your service into a crime

Just take all you can carry
Take all you can hold
What's the worst that can happen?
You'll find a resolve
Just take all you can carry
Take all you can hold
What's the worst that can happen?
You'll find a resolve

Future generations have too many wrongs to get right
It's resting on how many will take up the fight
Yeah, that's the situation they run down the chain
I'm wondering if we'll ever be back here again, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just take all you can carry (oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Take all you can hold
What's the worst that can happen?
You'll find a resolve
Just take all you can carry
Take all you can hold
What's the worst that can happen?
You'll find a resolve

Mm, hmm

Our miseducation has taught us to close our eyes
We've neglected every vision of pure insight
When you build imagination
You're shifting the frame
I'm wondering if we'll ever be back here again

Just take all you can carry
Take all you can hold (oh)
What's the worst that can happen?
You'll find a resolve
Just take all you can carry
Take all you can hold
What's the worst that can happen? (What's the worst?)
You'll find a resolve

For Real

Maybe I was wrong admitting how I feel
If I'm vulnerable does it help you heal
You act like it don't matter, but it matters to me
For real

And if I was alone for most of the summer
Then I'd get used to it, you not coming over
You act like it don't matter, but it matters to me
For real

And you've been screening calls
Talking to the walls
I wish you could talk to me
How it used to be

I'm regretting that I ever let you walk alone
'Cause you were brave enough to make it personal
I'm going to shine a light on your darkest side
Like you did for mine

When you lost your faith, eyes were filled with tears
You vilified a place you've worked for all these years
You act like it don't matter, but I strongly disagree
For real

Your dad sold his guitar to make you understand
No matter what would happen, music holds your hand
You act like it don't matter, but it matters to you
For real

I pray you don't grow old
Before your story's told
I wish that the world could see
All you're meant to be

I'm regretting that I ever let you walk alone
'Cause you were brave enough to make it personal
I'm going to shine a light on your darkest side
Like you did for mine
I'm regretting that I ever let you walk alone
'Cause you were brave enough to make it personal
I'm going to shine a light on your darkest side
Like you did for mine

Carry On

So you think matter fact I'm leaving
Stick my shoes on
Gone pack this evening
Gonna wave off my right to feeling
Gonna slink off in the night

You think when I wake tomorrow
Gonna sit up
And not feel my sorrow
Gonna maintain what I got for trouble
Gonna stay here and sift through the rubble

I won't let you go
Oh, I will make you see
That I care more for you
Than I care for me (I care for me)
If you could understand
Oh, we would make it easy
But everything we take
It never comes cheap (never comes cheap)
We carry every time
We carry on
We carry every time
We carry on
We carry every time
We carry on
We carry every time

No words wasted when it sours
We need not recall the hours
If I could beg, steal or borrow a flower
It don't make it right
You'd hope when I lay my head down
The sun would set as we're breaking new ground
The way we brush it off is truly profound
Look how we fade into the background

I won't let you go
Oh, I will make you see
That I care more for you
Than I care for me (I care for me)
If you could understand
Oh, we would make it easy
But everything we take
It never comes cheap (never comes cheap)
I won't let you go
Oh, I will make you see
That I care more for you
Than I care for me (I care for me)
If you could understand
Oh, we would make it easy
But everything we take
It never comes cheap (never comes cheap)

I won't let you go
Oh, I will make you see
That I care more for you
Than I care for me
If you could understand
Oh, we would make it easy

Reelin'

How far is too far gone with no resentment?
I want a chance to come back when I get restless
You are the centerpiece that can't be measured
There's nothing in between all of its treasure

I complicate the feeling
We don't believe the same thing
I know you know if we do give in, we'd just be lying
You underrate the small things
We fail to heed the warning
I know you know we don't give in

Wind me up 'til I'm reeling
Tone it down, slow the feeling
Settle in for the healing
How far is too far?
Wind me up 'til I'm reeling
Tone it down, slow the feeling
Settle in for the healing
How far is too far gone?

If we eliminate our core expressions
Do we just kiss goodbye all good intentions?
Just let that resonate, make no exceptions
How long 'til we give up, left undefended?

Wind me up 'til I'm reeling
Tone it down, slow the feeling
Settle in for the healing
How far is too far?
Wind me up 'til I'm reeling
Tone it down, slow the feeling
Settle in for the healing
How far is too far gone?

I complicate the feeling
We don't believe the same thing
I know you know we don't give in
You underrate the small things
We fail to heed the warning
I know you know we don't give in

Wind me up 'til I'm reeling (ooh, yeah-yeah)
Tone it down, slow the feeling
Settle in for the healing
How far is too far?
Wind me up 'til I'm reeling (wind me up)
Tone it down, slow the feeling
Settle in for the healing (for the healing)
How far is too far gone?
Wind me up 'til I'm reeling (wind me up)
Tone it down, slow the feeling
Settle in for the healing
How far is too far?
Wind me up 'til I'm reeling (wind me up)
Tone it down, slow the feeling
Settle in for the healing
How far is too far gone?

(Yeah)

Big Smoke

You've got every component, buddy, in the big smoke
When you're feeling heavy, why not lessen the load?
That's just who you are and it's not up for debate
With every compromise, a part is wasting away

There's not enough time to be so sad
There's not enough time to be so sad

Looks like you're just dying for a glimmer of hope
Reality won't tire from holding on by the throat

There's not enough time to be so sad
Not enough time to be so sad
There's not enough time to be so sad
Not enough time

At least try it on even for a little bit
Your tired arms need a break for a minute
There's nothing wrong with sitting in the thick of it
When it's all done won't you be rid of it?
At least try it on even for a little bit
Your tired arms need a break for a minute
There's nothing wrong with sitting in the thick of it
When it's all done won't you be rid of it?

Oh-oh, mm

Taking off your glasses to stare at the sun
Just another battle that will never be won
That's just who you are and it's not up for debate
With every compromise a part is wasting away

There's nothing wrong with sitting in the thick of it
When it's all done won't you be rid of it?

Lover

Lover
One thing that we can't forget
Time it ain't got no regrets
Instead it creeps ahead
We'll never run out of that
Oh, no

Lover
You and I are quite the team
You got everything I need
At least that's what I believe
We'll never run out of that

It's the less we know
That brings out the best of both
Sadly the point of the dreams
Not to know what it means
Just to feel it all

Lover
One thing that we can't forget (forget)
Time it ain't got no regrets
It's that it creeps ahead
We'll never run out of that (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, no

Lover
You and I are quite the team
You got everything I need
At least that's what I believe
We'll never run out of that

Ribbons in the sky
Drawing from the earth
That's how you know rain is gonna fall
Nature of it all
Never run out of that

It's the making of
Something that's never been done
Sadly, we all play our part
If we like it or not
That's the weight of love

Lover
One thing that we can't forget (forget)
Time it ain't got no regrets
It's that it creeps ahead
We'll never run out of that
Oh, no

Lover
You and I are quite the team
You got everything I need
At least that's what I believe
We'll never run out of that

Ribbons in the sky
Drawing from the earth
That's how you know rain is gonna fall
Nature of it all
Never run out of that, oh

Reruns

If you say so
Just put a bet on it
There's a consciousness that's weighing on me when I am too afraid to say so
I'm just trying to stay honest
There's a consequence that comes with every action that we choose

Smiling don't make it fair
Crying don't make it better
Riding on all your fears
Ain't all regretful
Smiling don't make it fair
Crying don't make it better
Riding on all your fears
Ain't all regretful

There's no stopping us
It's easier to quit then speak your mind, make a fuss
Do you think you deserve that extent of love?
It's easy to retreat than to stay and trust

No invite
To pretend to be something
That you're so obviously not with every fabric of your being
Insight, you could take a lead from it
It's exactly as it seems I have no idea what I'm saying

There's no stopping us
It's easier to quit than speak your mind, make a fuss
Do you think you deserve that extent of love?
It's easy to retreat than to stay and trust

It's hard (it's hard, it's hard)
When we repeat the mistakes from our past (from our past)
Reruns of all the things you wish you'd never done

There's no stopping us (no stopping us)
It's easier to quit then speak your mind, make a fuss (ooh, yeah)
Do you think you deserve that extent of love? (Of love)
It's easy to retreat than to stay and trust (ah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh-oh, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Words I Say

A softly spoken self-belief denies
Your indulgent want for every prize
Waiting on the wave of validation
If judgment feels just how I think it does
At least I know that I've already won
I've already won

Some things best kept sacred for no one else
Forgive me for saving it for myself

Will I ever act on the words I say?
Will I ever wake up to see that day? (Yeah, yeah)
There's a part of me that don't want to change
But how am I gonna stay high
If I'm a bird that don't want to fly

Some things best kept sacred for no one else

I'm going up against the paradigm
The strangest consequence of keeping quiet
Is having everybody think I'm lonesome

How do I reduce it to its core?
It's not my job to keep 'em wanting more
Heavy is the pressure of it all

Will I ever act on the words I say?
Will I ever wake up to see that day? (Yeah, yeah)
There's a part of me that don't want to change
But how am I gonna stay high
If I'm a bird that don't want to fly
Will I ever act on the words I say?
Will I ever wake up to see that day? (Yeah, yeah)
There's a part of me that don't want to change
But how am I gonna stay high
If I'm a bird that don't want to fly

Mainies

In the morning
The wind caresses her
Softly wakes the water
With readiness to serve
And leaves you where you lie

Glistening daylight has bested me
It's closer than I ever was
Where I want to be
Will we ever be in love?
In love
Sweet arresting love
Ooh, arresting love

Do we mourn the day
When life was like a love song?
You settled for the way that that was
If only you had known
That we would ever be in love
In love
Sweet arresting love
Ooh, yeah

Better Than That

You come back some more
The feelings too good to give up
It's a bitter call
When logic doesn't make the cut
Wish I was better than that

I can't even keep up a lie when I'm holding the mirror
I can see the white in my eyes getting clearer
I said I wasn't ready to die
Nowhere near it
But I could feel it

I keep on defending
The hours I'm spending
It is like a dream
Just hope it's a phase
No more co-dependent
My time reprimanded
I broke at the seams
Thought I was better than that

But I can't even keep up a lie
When I'm holding a mirror
I can see the white in my eyes getting clearer
I said I wasn't ready to die
Nowhere near it
But I could feel it

You come back some more
The feeling's too good to give up
It's a bitter call
Logic doesn't make the cut
It's better than that

I can't even keep up a lie when I'm holding the mirror
I can see the white in my eyes getting clearer
I said I wasn't ready to die
Nowhere near it
But I could feel it

I keep on defending
The hours I'm spending
It is like a dream
Just hope it's a phase
No more co-dependent
My time reprimanded
I broke all the seams
Thought I was better than that
Ooh, thought I was better than that (oh)
Thought I was better than that (oh, yeah)
Thought I was better than that (ah)
Thought I was better than that
Thought I was better

Everything's Fine

Gentle as the night holding up the moon
Come in like the wind on an August afternoon

Facing each other only way to discover
All the edges of our minds
We never meant to make it
But soon enough we take it past a point and that's alright

Formidable angel
Pulling out my truth
Give me a reason
Show me what's the use

Cool down everything's fine (everything's fine)
What you got to worry about
I need you to fool 'round
If I know you can fly (I know you can fly)
I don't have to leave the ground
Taken by the sight of a flower on the bloom
There's no way I'm leaving
To miss it would be cruel

Facing each other, only way to discover all the edges of our minds
We never meant to make it
But soon enough we take it past a point and that's alright

Cool down everything's fine (everything's fine)
What you got to worry about
I need you to fool 'round
If I know you can fly (I know you can fly)
I don't have to leave the ground
Taken by the sight of a flower on the bloom
There's no way I'm leaving
To miss it would be cruel

Don't freak out 'bout the future
It's beyond ya
Don't freak out 'bout the future
It's beyond ya ('ond ya)
It's beyond ya ('ond ya)

Cool down everything's fine (everything's fine)
What you got to worry about
I need you to fool 'round
If I know you can fly (I know you can fly)
I don't have to leave the ground (I don't have to leave the ground)
Taken by the sight of a flower on the bloom
There's no way I'm leaving (no way)
To miss it would be cruel
