NOT OK Lyrics

[Verse 1: Luke]
Inside every one of us, a shadow side
I call it my better side
I call it the call-me-up-if-you-wanna-feel-better side
I’ll put on my suit and tie to emphasize
You and I together, double homicide
Let’s ride

[Verse 2: Luke]
Alright, are you my little genie or a parasite?
Girl, you keep the dream alive
Why you got me stayin’ crazy hours after closin’ time?
Lucifer in every line, every night
You and I together, we should take a bite
Let’s ride

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton, All]
I wanna dip my toe into the fire
Where did the good boy go? Killed by desire
On the edge
You make me wanna jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump

[Chorus: All]
Hey, I’m not okay
I like the darker side of me, that part of me
Comes out to play when I’m with you, you
(Bite, bite, bite) Bite the apple, baby
Hey, I’m not okay
It’s like a hammer to the brain, all my insane
Comes out to play when I’m with you, you
(Bite, bite, bite) Bite the apple, baby

[Verse 3: Calum]
Oh my god, I feel invincible
And when the sun comes up, I feel despicable
And when my heart slows down, will you pick me up?
But we can pause for now, I think I said enough, uh

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton, All]
I wanna dip my toe into the fire
Where did the good boy go? Killed by desire
On the edge
You make me wanna jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump

[Chorus: All]
Hey, I’m not okay
I like the darker side of me, that part of me
Comes out to play when I’m with you, you
(Bite, bite, bite) Bite the apple, baby
Hey, I’m not okay
It’s like a hammer to the brain, all my insane
Comes out to play when I’m with you, you
(Bite, bite, bite) Bite the apple, baby

[Interlude: Ashton]
Hey, give me a sip of it
It’s 1 in the morning
Got these wheels rolling
It’s 4 in the morning
All over the city
And I said I loved you, but I didn’t really mean it
I, I don’t think, but
Anyways, turn it up
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Michael, All]
Hey, I’m not okay
I like the darker side of me, that part of me
Comes out to play when I’m with you, you
(Bite, bite, bite) Bite the apple, baby
Hey, I’m not okay
It’s like a hammer to the brain
All my insane
Comes out to play when I’m with you, you
(Bite, bite, bite) Bite the apple, baby

[Outro: Calum]
Oh my god, I feel invincible
