I'm Okay Lyrics

Look for me ride when the lights go down
My own little natural hide
I should be floating on top of the world
But I just keep wondering why

I feel more alone in this wonderful crowd
Than I ever do on my own
I know that this is a place I belong
But I'd rather be coming back home

Oh I want you to know I'm okay
I just need to know that you're waiting
You're waiting
For me

Someone keeps saying I could be star
I'm never quite sure what that means
It sounds like there's something I'm missing right now
And not who they think I could be
And all that I'm missing is you my love
Come and find me whenever you can
I'll be the one looking up at the sun
With a picture of you in my hands

Oh I want you to know I'm okay
I just need to know that you're waiting
You're waiting
For me

Oooooh..

Oh I want you to know I'm okay
I just need to know that you're waiting
You're waiting
For me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i can't believe i'm the first person to comment on this song, it's so beautiful. anyways, i tend to think in images when i hear songs, and the image i got in this one was the singer going off to a "big city" (la, nyc) to try to make it big... and she's left someone she loves behind. even though she's done well, "when the lights go down," even though she's celebrating in a crowd and should be happy, she still missing that person, and would "rather be coming back home." So, she's telling that person that's she's okay but misses them and what matters most to her is that they still love her, and are waiting for her...

Also, I think there's a mistake... it should be, "my own little natural high"

Anyways, really nice song.
