If I asked "Comment vast -tu?" Then what does "Ça peut aller.." mean?

"not too bad" (but 'not too good' either).

To answer "ça peut aller" is a way not to say "no" and mean it at the same time.
A french person will answer back "what's wrong ?" if he's polite ;)

"Sailing on Wings".... I cannot help but think that the message for me.. or at least what I read into this beautiful piece of poetry.. is... When all seems lost.. follow your heart (bird) to find your "home".. If you search within your heart, no raging storm can keep you lost forever. There have been times I have felt that I can no longer weather the storm, perhaps of a different kind from which you write, but nevertheless.. I follow the beautiful bird within and "Sail upon my own wings" Beautiful ((((Bri)))) (-:

Boy: "Shall we go to the pictures/movies tonight?"
Girl: "Ça peut aller." = We COULD do (unenthusiastically).
Boy: "What would you rather do?"

"Comment vas-tu" means, roughly, "how are you". "Ca peut aller" is totally unrelated and means "it can go".

I'm not sure, but doesn't it mean, "That'll work" or "That can/could work"?
