(Tell Me I'm Okay) Patrick

Tell me I'm okay, Patrick
Tell me please, that's all you have to do
Just one little okay
And you'll be on your way
Patrick, I really need that from you

Tell me I'm okay, Patrick
No pressure, but I seriously need to know
I realize your occupation
Is not gentle validation
But just this once, Patrick, give it a go

You represent the outside world, 'cause you don't know me
Your perception of me is completely pure
You don't have an agenda
That's why I need you to lend a
Hand, Patrick
Cause I think I'm fine, Patrick
But I'm only like 43 percent sure

Tell me I'm okay, Patrick
Or even something in the ballpark would be nice
You can phrase it how you want
You can make it nonchalant
Forget the "O", even just "K" would suffice

Seriously, Patrick,
Was I sick the day in school they
Taught you how to be a normal person?
It just feels like there's something fundamental I'm missing out on.
Like, is there an instruction manual?
You get what I'm saying, Patrick?
It just - it just feels like everyone is in this cabal of normal
People, and they're all laughing at me,
Like I'm the jester in my own Truman Show.
Patrick, tell me what the secret is. Just tell me what the secret is.
Is there a manual? Do you have the manual?
I know you have the manual,
Patrick. I know it's in your truck, Patrick!

I'm sorry that I yelled, Patrick
But I need just a little more from you today
So Patrick, hear my plea
Make one last delivery
Say the word, Patrick
Tell me I'm okay
Am I okay?
