Make It All Okay - R.E.M.

You threw away the ballast and you rowed your boat ashore

Didn’t you, now?

Didn’t you?

You made your ultimatum, too big to ignore

Didn’t you, now?

Didn’t you?

So you worked out your excuses

Turned away and shut the door

The world’s too vast for us now

And you wanted to explore

It’s a long… long, long road

And I don’t know which way to go

If you offered me your hand again I’d have to walk away

When I saw you at the street fair, you called out my name

Didn’t you, now?

Didn’t you?

You said we could start over, try and make it all okay

Didn’t you, now?

Didn’t you?

So our past has been rewritten

And you threw away the pen

You said that I was useless

But now you’ll take me in again

Well, Jesus loves me fine

And your words fall flat this time

Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say

«We don’t have a prayer between us.»

Didn’t you believe that I have finally turned away?

Didn’t you, now?

Didn’t you?

Anything to hold onto to help me through my day

Didn’t you, now?

Didn’t you?

But Jesus loves me fine

But His words fall flat this time

It’s a long… long, long road

And I don’t know which way to go

If you offered me your world, did you think I’d really stay?

If you offered me the heavens, I would have to turn away

Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say

«We don’t have a prayer between us.»

Didn’t you, now?

Didn’t you, now?

Didn’t you?
