Assume 02:43
To assume makes an ass out of you and me Well you’re an ass, and me? I’m gone Listen to these words dripping from my lips I’m done with those lies hiding in your kisses If I tell you I’m through, don’t assume I’ve changed my mind Dadada you’ll find That I’ve danced on your drum and my feet are sore And I can’t make them dance anymore I’ve walked this line too many times between I’m fine and I want more Dadada Dadadada You’re stuck in the boxes inside your head Whatever can’t fit is as good as dead And I’m breaking the rules by telling you I’m moving on Dadada I’m gone Dead men walking why bother why try Dead man walking why bother why cry Dead man walking why bother why try Why bother walking when in heaven dead men Fly Now I’ve danced to your drum and my feet are sore And I can’t make em dance anymore And I’ve walked this line too many times between I’m fine and I want more I want more Dadada Dadada To assume makes an ass out of you and me Well you’re an ass, and me? I’m gone

Through 02:30
I opened my lungs my heart my brain Gave you my umbrella and walked in the rain Now I’m soaked through And I’m through with you My head’s not ready to talk to my heart The mess you made is a work of art I’m untangling scars, pulling baggage apart I’m through with you? Cause I’m more than enough without you And I’m saving my umbrellas and my “I Do’s” And I don’t and I won’t, no more bending I’m through Through bending and believing in You need space take my rocket ship You need time I don’t give a shit Take time, go find the moon I’ve got no room for you No more lemons no more lemonade No more salty, no more shade These bright shiny lies are beginning to fade I see through you And I’m through Cause I’m more than enough without you And I’m saving my umbrellas and my “I Do’s” And I don’t and I won’t, no more bending I’m through Through bending and believing in you I’m more than enough without you And I’m saving my umbrellas and my “I Do’s” And I don’t and I won’t, no more bending I’m through Through bending and believing in you Youuu x3

Not a Tree 03:19
I tried to make myself a tree Grow up much taller than me Make my leaves soft and green I tried to make myself a tree I thought that I should plant some roots I went and bought those ugly Ugg boots And I never knew How to be a tree I am not the waves crashing down I am not the breeze swirling round I am not a tree I am me I am not a tree I tried to make myself a book Colored in my covers and my spine so I would look Like the others on the shelf I tried to make myself a book But I am not something to be red I like blue much better and somethings are better left unread I tried to shape myself for you There is nothing that I thought that I wouldn’t do Now I’ve gone and turned all my bones to goo Trying to fit inside what I meant to you Oh no no no no No no no no no No no no no no Nooo nooo nooo nooo I am not a tree I am not a book I am simply me If you care to look And I will be much more Then you ever, I ever had thought I could be Cause I’m not trying to be a tree

Little Bird 03:15
Hey little bird with the broken wing Too tired to soar too tired to sing Don’t sing anything Hey little bird with the broken song You sang another’s song too long But you’re not wrong You’re not wrong Oooooh Hey little bird with the lonely nest Sometimes empty feels the best So tuck your head against your own chest Rest Oooooh And I miss her too, little bird I know it hurts But it’s ok Yeah I miss her too, little bird I know it hurts But it’s ok You can let it hurt today Ooooooh Hey little bird, it’s ok Not to want to sing today Hey little bird, it’s ok Not to want to sing today We’re okay

about

In a world where striving for perceived perfection both on and off social media seems to be at the forefront of our collective conscience, "We’re Okay" is a refreshing reminder that by accepting ourselves in all our imperfect glory, we are doing more than enough. Kailey tests the limits of folk sounds as she transitions from cheeky guitar melodies with punchy lyrics in tracks like “Assume” and “Through,” to the powerfully lyrical piano ballad, “Sleepwalker,” to the introspectively string-centric "Not a Tree" and "Little Bird."  Featuring musical contributions from Aya Kato, Tallie Gabriel, Alex Cummings, and Max Maples, We're Okay is more than just okay.
