Seanie got in way above his head
A middle class kid drowning in the deep end
A cardboard gangster putting up a front
Looking for danger well how much do you want?

You've gotta dig deeper than that
You've gotta try a little harder than that

It's not okay to be okay
Don't let the world get in the way
Quit hanging on yesterday
Don't let the world get in the way
It's alright, not okay

She was a kick out kid from the city
He knew right there and then she would break his heart
She was cold as ice, pretty as a picture
A little irish soul, a perfect work of art

You've gotta dig deeper than that
You've gotta try a little harder than that

It's not okay to be okay
Don't let the world get in the way
Quit hanging on yesterday
Don't let the world get in the way

It's not okay to be okay
Don't let the world get in the way
Quit hanging on yesterday
Don't let the world get in the way

There's no going back only getting even
Don't be taken in by the promises and dreamers
And all those barstool preachers
Untrue lovers and fallen angels
Don't have the courage of their convictions

Hang on to your st. Christopher let's take a trip
Go racing down main street like it's a drag strip
Before they turn around we'll disappear
'Cause everything we need is on the other side of fear

You've gotta dig deeper than that
You've gotta try a little harder than that

It's not okay to be okay
Don't let the world get in the way
Quit hanging on yesterday
Don't let the world get in the way

It's not okay to be okay
Don't let the world get in the way
Quit hanging on yesterday
Don't let the world get in the way

Don't let the world get in the way
Don't let the world get in the way
It's alright, not okay
It's alright, not okay
Don't let the world get in the way
