It's All Okay Lyrics

The story is different now, the records
are playing in the living room And you
might say you're wounded, and I might
say I'm hurt But we knew the difference
then between the fire and the earth And
we may say we're broken, we may say
we're weak, But we knew before we
started, oh the secrets we would keep

And it's all okay, cause love will find
a way to be what love is And it's all
okay, cause love will find a way to be
what love is I'll move to the country,
and live inside the deepest, darkest wood
And I'll write you a letter and tell
you all the things I should say to your
face And I won't send it to you, I'll
send it to your mother's place And she

won't give it to you, that's how brave
I'll grow here in my cave And it's all
okay, cause love will find a way to be
what love is And it's all okay, cause
love will find a way to be what love is
And you'll move to the city, marry a
pretty girl And she will make you smile
all the while you'll be looking for what
you left behind And she will bring you
children and oh how you will love them

With that heart of yours I won't visit you,
I'll know by then the kinder thing to do
Oh it's all okay, cause love will find a
way to be what love is And it's all okay,
cause love will find a way to be what love
is And it's all okay, cause love will
find a way to be what love is And it's
all okay, cause love will find a way to be
what love is The story is different now,
the records are playing in the living room

Let's Forget All The Things That We Say

The story is different now, the records
are playing in the living room And you 
might say you're wounded, and I might 
say I'm hurt But we knew the difference 
then between the fire and the earth And 
we may say we're broken, we may say 
we're weak, But we knew before we 
started, oh the secrets we would keep

And it's all okay, cause love will find 
a way to be what love is And it's all 
okay, cause love will find a way to be 
what love is I'll move to the country, 
and live inside the deepest, darkest wood
And I'll write you a letter and tell 
you all the things I should say to your 
face And I won't send it to you, I'll 
send it to your mother's place And she

won't give it to you, that's how brave
I'll grow here in my cave And it's all 
okay, cause love will find a way to be 
what love is And it's all okay, cause 
love will find a way to be what love is
And you'll move to the city, marry a 
pretty girl And she will make you smile 
all the while you'll be looking for what 
you left behind And she will bring you 
children and oh how you will love them

With that heart of yours I won't visit you,
I'll know by then the kinder thing to do 
Oh it's all okay, cause love will find a 
way to be what love is And it's all okay, 
cause love will find a way to be what love 
is And it's all okay, cause love will 
find a way to be what love is And it's 
all okay, cause love will find a way to be 
what love is The story is different now, 
the records are playing in the living room

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.

The verses sound like someone confused and frustrated with her emotions about some guy, but then the chorus makes it sound like a one night stand (maybe including a pregnancy) and it's all a natural and healthy part of the human condition, unless that's being ironic (and I don't think it is).

Just finished reading A Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes, this feels like the song of the book

I think the song's about the end of a relationship and her leaving, but despite all the pain that that'll cause it'll be all okay. It feels like a break up song to me that carries the message of move on because in the end everything thing will be alright.
