It's Alright Now Lyrics

It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait
Let me be your fortress
One word then all of this
If I pushed it all to the back
Would you run home just like that?
If you’re not there today
It’s alright now, I can wait
You cannot think of the cost
Burnt up like the day we lost
If only you could you see mine
Running out dry
Some of these feelings never died
I step onto your side
You never did see mine
Tell me are you sleeping still tonight
Is this the one
Is this the one
Is this the place where it all stems from
Where it had every right to become
Step away step away stay numb
Cause you weren’t there today
It’s alright now, I can wait
We cannot think of the cost
Burnt up like the days we lost
If only you could you see mine
Running out dry
Some of these feelings never died
I step onto your side
You never did see mine
Tell me are you sleeping still tonight
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait
Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait

Made a plan to be someone
Mess it up when the moment comes
Step away step away stay numb
It’s alright now, I don’t wanna wait

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 believe the man is talking about a girl he loves and has been there for, but she never came around to feel the same way he does, yet he keeps waiting--"I step onto your side You never did see mine." It seems he then feels he wasted his life waiting on this girl. Anyway, song is TIGHT.

I'd go along with that last comment, he hints that he might have had his chance to be the person she wanted but, "Mess it up when the moment comes".
