About This Track

'OK' finds Wallows wrestling with the anxiety that lives inside intimacy. The narrator knows their partner so well they can read the smallest shift in expression, yet struggles to trust what they're being told, cycling through self-doubt and the urge to sabotage what they know is real. The song turns on a simple plea: can we just try to feel okay again, together? It's a pop song built for radio, synth-driven and catchy, but the emotional weight sits underneath. The hook carries the weight of someone asking their partner for permission to stop fighting, to lay down the exhaustion of constant reassurance-seeking. There's a robotic "OK" that punctuates the track, a small production choice that underscores the mechanical repetition of these doubts. What emerges is a song about two people who love each other trying, together, to get out of their own way.

"OK" is a single by Wallows, released 20th March 2020. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Wallows.

Lyrics

OK

I know you so well
You know that I can tell
The slightest difference in your facial expression
Don't tell me nothing's on your mind
If we're honest, it will all be fine

I'm someone who likes to talk things through
The hardest thing is getting it out of you
I should sit back and give you a break
Let you close your perfect eyes

'Cause there's no need to explain
I know what you want to say
We could just say goodnight if you think that's alright
There's no need to explain
I know that we can relate
Can we get up and try to feel okay again?
Okay

I'm getting too close
You say you love me most
It's hard to trust it even though I want to
Need to get this shit out of my head
Before I flip this on myself instead

Please come over here
Lay your head right down
Don't make a sound
I hear you loud and clear

There's no need to explain
I know what you want to say
We could just say goodnight if you think that's alright
There's no need to explain
I know that we can relate
Can we get up and try to feel okay again?
Can we get up and try to feel okay again?
Okay

If we know we love each other, what's the concern?
Fond with or without separation is what I've learned
I'd wait for an hour, or I'd wait for a year
Is your opinion on it something I want to hear?
I know you never lie, but I self-sabotage
I know your love isn't just a mirage
But I tend to panic if I can't reach out and grab it
I need to get out all these bad habits

There's no need to explain
I know what you want to say
We could just say goodnight if you think that's alright
There's no need to explain
I know that we can relate
Can we get up and try to feel okay again?
Can we get up and try to feel okay again?
Hey

We can get up and try to feel okay again
We can get up and try to feel okay again
Okay
