lyrics
You act so serious
And it comes across as aloof
You've thrown the others out
To keep them all from your truth
I’ve figured out your secret
You thought no one else would know
To move you forward
First I'll take away your control
You're going to be OK when I'm done
I see you're critical
And expect to be let down
I've got your best interests in mind
I’m bringing them around
It must wear you out
Keeping your suitors in their wings
But could your time be better spent
By letting the best ones in
You're going to be OK when I'm done
Because it’s a hard line that you take
Sooner or later you will break
When you realize that
They don't give it back
They don't give you back the time that you've lost
Please don’t panic, dear, when you fear you’ve been found out
I won’t get in your way, just some support until you’re sound
You're going to be OK when I'm done
And it comes across as aloof
You've thrown the others out
To keep them all from your truth
I’ve figured out your secret
You thought no one else would know
To move you forward
First I'll take away your control
You're going to be OK when I'm done
I see you're critical
And expect to be let down
I've got your best interests in mind
I’m bringing them around
It must wear you out
Keeping your suitors in their wings
But could your time be better spent
By letting the best ones in
You're going to be OK when I'm done
Because it’s a hard line that you take
Sooner or later you will break
When you realize that
They don't give it back
They don't give you back the time that you've lost
Please don’t panic, dear, when you fear you’ve been found out
I won’t get in your way, just some support until you’re sound
You're going to be OK when I'm done

about
Mr. Kind Oakland, California
Since its inaugural release, OK, Mr. Kind has departed from rough-around-the-edges garage folk rock to the dense electronic leanings of their second EP, Mr. Kind. The band was originally formed to perform the recorded solo material of lead singer-songwriter Brian Bergeron, but Wide Awake | Open Eyes represents each band members’ continually expanding involvement in the songwriting process. ... more
