Are You Okay? Lyrics
You know how friends are funny when we're just clowning around
You know how friends get crazy when we can't stop messing around
We always leave a seat open for you when we go out, out on this town
We always drink a couple for you when we're all out, when we go out
Just think of us together whenever you're down
Are you okay? Are you all right?
You know that I wait and I wait and I wait
Remember when our heads were almost about to explode
Do you remember the three jokes, the only ones that you know
We always leave a light on for you 'case you come back home
We always leave a key hidden for you 'case you come back home
In case nobody's home
Just think of us together whenever you're down
Are you okay? Are you all right?
Do you count down the days like I count down the nights?
Baby I wait and I wait and I wait
Remember nights when our friends had to help carry us home
Remember times when we'd wake up in places we didn't know
There was always a light on for us, always guiding us home
To help find our way home
Just think of us together whenever you're down
Are you all right? Are you okay?
I kept our room just the same as when you went away
Are you all right? Are you okay?
I kept the pictures of us before you went away
Baby I wait, and I wait, and I wait
Baby I hope and I pray you're okay
You know how friends get crazy when we can't stop messing around
We always leave a seat open for you when we go out, out on this town
We always drink a couple for you when we're all out, when we go out
Are you okay? Are you all right?
You know that I wait and I wait and I wait
Do you remember the three jokes, the only ones that you know
We always leave a light on for you 'case you come back home
We always leave a key hidden for you 'case you come back home
In case nobody's home
Are you okay? Are you all right?
Do you count down the days like I count down the nights?
Remember times when we'd wake up in places we didn't know
There was always a light on for us, always guiding us home
To help find our way home
Are you all right? Are you okay?
I kept our room just the same as when you went away
Are you all right? Are you okay?
I kept the pictures of us before you went away
Baby I wait, and I wait, and I wait
Baby I hope and I pray you're okay

This song just kinda gets to me. the way the melody and the voice harmonize it gives me chills. it's really sad, too.
pretty chillin song
this is a great damn song, kinda sad but kinda inspirational at the same time ya know.
i dunno this song is starting to remind me of a ex g/f in rehab or something. And she can't go back to the life she once had and he's still kind of waiting for her, hoping she'll come back home when it reality they all know she won't. i dunno kinda off the wall.
yeah I sort of agree with that but I don't think the girl is in rehab she is just gone for awhile like a trip abroad for a period of time somewhere that the guy really can't communicate with her since she is gone for a while and he hopes that she comes home safe and their friends think of her and remeber the times they had before she left and just wait until she returns
I get the feeling that the song is about a person who ran away from home or, perhaps, someone who left town for college and never came back, even to visit. The runaway scenario seems to fit better.
