Q&A
Are You OK? Lyrics
I just wanted you to come home
To turn the key, to turn off time
For everything to shine
Are you kind?
Is it you, no really, is it you who
Turns on the good to nothing good
I refuse to
Can you give me a clue?
To where you go, when your eyes don't glow
When I lose you to the moon
You don't want my kiss but you want my kids
Is that any way, is that any way to live?
Are you OK?
What you running, what you running away from life?
What you running, what you running away to hide?
Yes, I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time
What you running, what you running away from life?
What you running, what you running away to hide?
Yes, I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time
There's a story that you won't tell
It's a cruel dark hole, it's the color of cold
It hides in the belly of your life
It gets worse in light
No stopping an emotional war
I'll give you more, I'll be the soldier at your door
If you want me to, I will come through
I can tear your heart out or help you live
Help this endless powerlessness
Just one kiss
What you running, what you running away from life?
What you running, what you running away to hide?
Yes, I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time
Why you running, why you running away from life?
Where you running, Where you running away to hide?
Lest we're running out of time
I just wanted you to come home
I just wanted you to come home
Will you ever be mine?
Can you give me a clue?
Can you give me a clue?
What's the story that you won't tell?
What's the story that you won't tell?
Will you ever be mine?
Can you give me a clue?
Can you give me a clue?
What's the story that you won't tell?
What's the story that you won't tell?
There's a story that you won't tell
Will you ever be mine?
Can you give me a clue?
To turn the key, to turn off time
For everything to shine
Are you kind?
Turns on the good to nothing good
I refuse to
To where you go, when your eyes don't glow
When I lose you to the moon
Is that any way, is that any way to live?
Are you OK?
What you running, what you running away to hide?
Yes, I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time
What you running, what you running away to hide?
Yes, I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time
It's a cruel dark hole, it's the color of cold
It hides in the belly of your life
It gets worse in light
I'll give you more, I'll be the soldier at your door
If you want me to, I will come through
Help this endless powerlessness
Just one kiss
What you running, what you running away to hide?
Yes, I wish I could tell you there was nothing but time
Where you running, Where you running away to hide?
Lest we're running out of time
I just wanted you to come home
Will you ever be mine?
Can you give me a clue?
Can you give me a clue?
What's the story that you won't tell?
What's the story that you won't tell?
Will you ever be mine?
Can you give me a clue?
Can you give me a clue?
What's the story that you won't tell?
What's the story that you won't tell?
There's a story that you won't tell
Will you ever be mine?
Can you give me a clue?

Initially this song didn't stand out on the album at all for me, bit after repeated listens this is now my favourite track. And must be really great to hear live, especially at 2:55.
What's it about? Living with someone depressed? Depression zaps your sex drive, your energy, your ability to connect. This feels like a cry of desperation from a husband or wife trying to reconnect with a spouse lost to depression.
