All Is Well Lyrics

I always sleep so much better when it’s raining
There’s something 'bout the rhythm as the water hits the pane
I could stay in bed all God damn day, and sweetly waste away
Cause I’m blind to all the good you see, and prefer a fine tragedy

When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and I listen, cause it already is
Oh

The air grows thin as summer fades
I miss, I taste
The old crisp and color autumn days appear in my view
cause this blue, you caught the splendor that’s been staring me
in my face
and the spectrum of the colors just change into blue

When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and I listen, cause it
already is

and it’s all true, and good and merry
cause you see through the tears
and they come every night
without reason meaning why

ah oh oh

When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and me listen, cause it
already,
All is well, and I know it, when I see you
you don’t need to tell me it’s okay
cause I believe that it already is
already is
already is

I always sleep so much better when it’s raining

Cover art for All Is Well lyrics by Vanessa Carlton

I think it could mean that she is always worrying that something bad will happen when everything is okay. she is more at ease when something bad is going on becuase she figures it cant get much worse. shes afraid that the higher things are the lower they can go, and her friend/lover is always there to comfort her because he/she understands her and is there to help. i think this is one of those songs that have more than one meaning and those meanings are completely different to everyone who listens.

This song vividly expresses the constant need for tragedy, and how it's a preference to have things be more destroyed, dark, and upsetting rather than having light surround you all the time. Vanessa has expressed in concert how "melancholy can be so comforting sometimes". I love this song, it would've been cool to see it on Heroes and Thieves :3

These lyrics are a little off. I'm not sure I got it completely right either, but here it goes:

I always sleep so much better when it's raining There's something 'bout the rhythm as the water hits the pane I could stay in bed all goddamn day, and sweetly waste away 'Cause I'm blind to all the good you see, and prefer a fine tragedy

When all is well I get nervous, something's missing If only you could tell me it's okay, and I'd listen, 'cause it already is Oh

The air grows thin as summer fades I miss, I taste The old crisp and color autumn days appear in my view 'cause this gloom, it coats the splendor that's been staring me in my face and the spectrum of colors bleeds into blue

When all is well I get nervous, something's missing If only you could tell me it's okay, and I'd listen, 'cause it already is

And you're such a good man 'cause you see through the tears and they come every night without reason or meaning why

ah oh oh

When all is well I get nervous, something's missing If only you could tell me it's okay, and I'd listen, 'cause it already...

All is well, and I know it, when I see you you don't need to tell me it's okay 'cause I believe that it already is already is already is

I always sleep so much better when it's raining

Lyric Correction

Upon a second listening, the second verse is actually:

The air grows thin as summer fades It's sadness I taste No crisp and colored autumn days appeared in my view 'cause this gloom, it coats the splendor that's been staring me in my face and the spectrum of colors all bleeds into blue
