Okay

Backhouse Mike · Other Songs - Backhouse Mike

I like your smile

But even introductions need to last awhile

Sometimes I don't know if I'm right or wrong

And in the end it seems like everything is worse when you're gone



There is no upper hand

I'm giving you mine

It doesn't have to end up wasting your time

There's things that I could say

But hear it my way

I want to let you know that it's all okay



So there you are

Mistakenly mistaken for a deeper scar

A hole in your heart

And the same for me

Is everything you touch keeping you down

or setting you free



There is no upper hand

I'm giving you mine

It doesn't have to end up wasting your time

There's things that I could say

But hear it my way

I want to let you know that it's all okay



Shelter my eyes from the sun

And wait for the birds to fly by

Trying to reach every one

And know what you're feeling inside

Deep in my head now it's like a dream goodbye



There is no upper hand

I'm giving you mine

It doesn't have to end up wasting your time

There's things that I could say

But hear it my way

I want to let you know that it's all okay

Want to let you know that it's all okay

Want to let you know

That it's all okay

Okay - Backhouse Mike

Backhouse Mike's 'Okay' stands as a defining track within the English new wave and synth-pop landscape of the late 1980s. Released during a period when the band was refining their signature blend of electronic textures and melodic sensibilities, the recording captures the raw energy and emotional vulnerability characteristic of their discography. The song serves as a pivotal moment in their catalog, reflecting the era's fascination with synthesizer-driven pop while maintaining a distinct indie-rock edge. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke nostalgia and emotional resonance, cementing its place among the band's most celebrated works alongside tracks like 'Make Me Wait' and 'Sleep'.
