Are You Okay?

He looked older than I remember
And I guess that some of that, well, may be my fault
And I can’t quite figure out how’d you fight in all this
Or if that won’t even matter much at all

Desillusion, there’s no angels who fought their wings upon my net
In seclusion you were faithful, or at least hid your fingerprint
How dare my [?] heart start to think that I could really know
Much of anything about anything, though?

And does being in Los Angeles bring me to mind?
And does wine and Billie Holiday still make you cry?
When you call, is it to open up a door to better days?
Or is it simple last the way you wanna say
Are you okay?

An empty cup can’t fill another
Why did that take us so long to figure out?
There was sights of you where I swore I could love her
But to love takes so much more than knowing how

And I’m still in that apartment where we were big kids playing house
Where we brought the cups and curtains to end the tains and settling down
And I kept some of our pictures and I wear my birthday watch
To remind me of the man I thought I loved

Does your new boyfriend know how much I still mean to you?
Do you change some other details for more convenient truth?
Can you translate how you hold his hand into levels of your pain?
Does he know to ask, despite what you may say?
Are you okay?

You’re a child on an airplane you feel it’s out of your control
And you love New York ‘cause it was somewhere else for you to go
And you tied your hair so you could look your mirror in the eyes
And pretend she’s someone you don’t recognise

So it’s time to lose my number and let the past be where we stay
When you’ve had too much to drink again, someone else can hold your waist
We were never quite as good as how your memory replays
And I don’t owe you no answer when you say
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
