Wake And Be Fine Lyrics & Chords By Okkervil River

Someone said to me, "I'll come into your dream
And speak it to you." I already knew
I found her in an attic where, dramatically, she leaned in to me
And she whispered these lines:

"Wake and be fine
You've still got time to wake and be fine."

Embracers meet with more embracers in the street
Say, "Hold me, dear stranger. Grab on to me
We're carrying our years around us, or they're chasing down us
We're all here at the same time

Can we wake and be fine?
We've still got time to wake and be fine

Villains on the creep and killers in the crowd
Are carving apart our childhood house
Lovers in their sheets, and dreaming lovers sweetly
Turn in their sleep all under sunbeams

Everybody's crashing, running, calling out the coming
Of things they kind of can see
Someone said to me, "It's just a dream.
Why don't you wake up and you'll see? It's fine."

In those miles racing over endless fields of snow
You already heard, you already know
The rescue party finally lost their hearts
And then they shattered their bones, and died all alone

Ships all float from beaches by themselves
Away from hot afternoons. (Goodbye, you balloons!)
Adrift above indifferent clouds. Our hearts are crashing loudly
On some rocks where the gulls whine to wake and be fine
You've still got time to wake and be fine, oh
Be fine
Be fine
Be fine
Be fine
