already all right

twas the first truly beautiful day of the year
and i didn't even want to go outside
just in case you'd call
j ust in case you'd deem me worthy of your time.

so i looked and i found a little fight left in my feet,
put on my favorite coat, went out and hit the street,

cause i know it's okay,
i'll be fine at the end of the day,
it's my own fault for wanting a little more from life,
a little taste of wonder,
cause i'm already all right.

you see, sadness is far too beautiful for me,
so i'll stay here in this liminal space,
in this worn doorway,
not in love, not in doubt, but right in place.

i'm not sad, i'm just fine, if anything, a little weak,
a little different for the wanting, yet the same as i could be

cause i know it's okay,
i'll be fine at the end of the day.
it's my own fault for wanting a little more from life,
a little taste of wonder,
cause i'm already all right.

still i'll never hate anything quite how i hate
the slow patch of sunlight that fell on your face
as you left with my last sliver of starlight,
wish i may, wish i might,
hell i'm already all right.

cause i know it's okay,
i'll be fine at the end of the day,
still standing, still waiting,
still wanting to try
a little taste of you
cause i'm already all right.
