Recently, I’ve been drawn to the simple things
Like the sun on the window pane
How the light filters throughSlowly, waking from daydreams so peaceful
Wind whispers softly, so quiet
Like my name on your lipsI’ve spent my whole life
Wishing that things would just change
I never stayed in the same place
But something has shifted inside
Recently
RecentlySuddenly there’s been space for the in-between
You & me on the front porch swing
Watching people walk byI’ve spent my whole life
Wishing that things would just change
I never stayed in the same place
But something has shifted inside

RecentlyRecently all
All that I know
Is all that I needed was you all along
Recently all
All that I know
Is all that I needed was you all along
Recently all that I know is
All that I needed my whole life was you
Recently all that I know is
All that I needed is at home with youSo we find ourselves right here just holding
Tight to the moments before they slip away
Leaf on the breeze -
When the only thing falling to place
Is the rain coming down in your face
When you’re overdue and you’re underpaid and you cant catch a break
Don’t forget that you’re loved anyway
Go easy
Stay open
Oh, keep going
You’re bent but you’re not broken
Oh, keep going
Oh, keep going
When you’re down and there’s not a way out
Wanna fly but you’re stuck on the ground
When you gave it all but it’s not enough and you just can’t see how
You’ll move on, take my hand, sing it loud
Sing it loud
Go easy
Stay open
Oh, keep going
You’re bent but you’re not broken
Oh, keep going
Oh, keep going
Keep going
When you’re right on the brink
Keep going
You got more than you think
Get up and get on
Know that you’re not alone in the fight
Someday maybe you’ll look back and say
“That’s why I am who I am today”
Go easy
Stay open
Oh, keep going
You’re bent but you’re not broken
Oh, keep going
Oh, keep going
You’re bent but you’re not broken
Oh, keep going
Oh, keep going

Rosalee
Prettiest leaf on your family tree
Tell me a secret
When you close your eyes baby
Tell me what world do you seeRosalee
Sometimes this feeling takes over me
Do you feel it too
Was I holding you baby
Or maybe it’s you holding me
Oh, RosaleeDarling, please
Give my love to your momma
Darling, please
I was young and I was wrong
On my knees
Praying he don’t do you harm
I hope he ain’t like me, RosaleeRosalee
Don’t let this world send you out to sea
Don’t hide who you are
When you feel like you’re drowning
Remember the truth sets you free
Oh RosaleeDarling, please
Give my love to your momma
Darling, please
I was young and I was wrong
On my knees
Praying he don’t do you harm
I hope he ain’t like me, RosaleeI hope he ain’t like me,

I hope he ain’t like me,
I hope he ain’t like me, Rosalee -
These days been living in slo-mo
Don’t know the last time I fomo’d
Ever since I got a gold ring
Been hooked on the small things
The way she looks when she’s sleeping
Dog-walks, porch talks in the evening
Staying in because we want to
Doing whatever we doI know it
I’m so lit
But I don’t ever wanna changeShe got me feeling like a homebody
Maybe soon I’ll get a dad body
And you know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
No, nobodyI used to live it like a busybody
Looked high and low just tryin to find somebody
Now I know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
No, nobodySo long since we’ve been out to eat
Haven’t drove the car in a week
We’ve come to our senses
Extraversion is expensiveSo keep the ladder you’re climbing
Keep your social butterflyin’
We finally figured it out
We’re all caught up on our shows nowAnd I know it
I’m so lit
But I don’t ever wanna changeShe got me feeling like a homebody
Maybe soon I’ll get a dad body
And you know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
No, nobodyI used to live it like a busybody
Looked high and low just tryin to find somebody
Now I know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
No, nobody
No, nobodyYeah, we’re chilling out
And we’re sleeping in
In a bungalow
In T-NShe got me feeling like a homebody
Maybe soon I’ll get a dad body
There ain’t nobody with nobody that I’d rather beShe got me feeling like a homebody
Maybe soon I’ll get a dad body
And you know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
No, nobodyI used to live it like a busybody
Looked high and low just tryin to find somebody
Now I know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
No, nobodyNo no no no no, nobody
Oh, Homebody -
Everybody’s racing like they’re running out of time
Pinging like a pinball off whatever’s on their mind
All the while they overlook what’s in front of their eyes
I’m gonna be fine, crawling my way through life
Cause I’m in no hurry
I’m in no hurry
I’ve been moving slowly
Good things always take their time
I may be going nowhere but at least I’ll get there slow
If its not worth putting off, its not worth doing it at all
You can keep your progress, your assets, keep your on the go
Cause drawing it out, soaking it up, turning it down’s the only way I know
Cause I’m in no hurry
I’m in no hurry
I’ve been moving slowly
Good things always take their time
Are we too afraid of missing out
Are we too afraid to change
Isn’t living it what’s life’s about
I’ll be on my way
Eventually
Cause I’m in no hurry
I’m in no hurry
I’ve been moving slowly
Good things always take their time
I’m in no hurry
Taking the long way home
Cause people move fast, then they get worried
I’m in no hurry
People move fast, then they get worried
I’m in no hurry
I’m in no hurry

I woke up yesterday morning
I had a smile on my face
Then I tried making you happy
That’s when it all went away
I don’t have much to say
I don’t have much to say
Don’t matter anyway
I don’t have much to say
You ever look in the mirror
Wonder how you got this way
A stranger in the reflection
That’s what I’m feeling today
I don’t have much to say
I don’t have much to say
Don’t matter anyway
I don’t have much to say
I used to drive with the brakes on
Because I was so afraid
But come to think of it lately
Not really that much has changed
I don’t have much to say
I don’t have much to say
Don’t matter anyway
I don’t have much to say
I know it probably sounds crazy
And yeah, it might be too late
Sometimes I feel so much closer
The further you move away
I don’t have much to say
I don’t have much to say
Don’t matter anyway
I don’t have much to say
I don’t have much to say
I don’t have much to say
Much to say

So, you’re all the way out this time
No hope for another try
Making up your mind
So cruel and cold
It’s tearing me apart
Just so you knowI need just a little piece
I’ll take anything
Gimme something to hold on to
Do you ever think of me
After everything
Gimme something to hold on toWhat to say
As you drift away
I don’t want to hold you
Hold you if you don’t want
Don’t want me toI need just a little piece
I’ll take anything
Gimme something to hold on to
Do you ever think of me
After everything
Gimme something to hold on toI’ve been holding out
You’ve been on my mind
We’ve been wasting time
Wasting time
I need just a little piece
I’ll take anything
Gimme something to hold on to
Do you ever think of me
After everything
Gimme something to hold on toI need just a little piece
I’ll take anything, yeah
Gimme something to hold on to
Do you ever think of me
After everything, yeah
Gimme something to hold on to -
I keep making the same mistakes
Trying to make a way
To your heart
You follow the map I made
But it never stays the same
You keep gettin lostHow do I let go of the things I used to be
When they’ve still got a hold of meIs it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
Is it ’sposed to be
Is it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
Is it ’sposed to beWhy isn’t it effortless
Magic in every kiss
Like they sayOh, but maybe a heart won’t grow
If never knows
A little rainIs it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
Is it ’sposed to be
Is it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
Is it ’sposed to beThere isn’t a missing piece
There isn’t a hidden key
We’re gonna find
What if all that we’ll ever need
Is forever in you and me
To be alright
To be alrightHow do you let go of the things you used to be
Without letting go of meIs it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
Is it ’sposed to be
Is it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
Is it ’sposed to beIt’s so hard to love
So hard to love
It’s so hard to love
So hard to love
So hard to love -
Honeybee
I know that lately life is far from what you dreamed
It feels like there’s nobody left who truly sees
You for who you are
Its never been this hard
Oh, Honeybee
Right now you can’t see a way from underneath
All the pain, so heavy and you can’t believe
It will all work out
That there’s life after the doubt
Nothing is impossible
No, nothing is impossible
If mountains move and kingdoms fall
Then nothing is impossible
I know you’ve prayed
The nightmare would evaporate when you awake
That it would somehow all be taken off your plate
When it all just weighs too much
When you feel like giving up
Nothing is impossible
No, nothing is impossible
If mountains move and kingdoms fall
Then nothing is impossible
When you’re screaming out
On your knees
When you need someone to set you free
Open up
Let it be
Take my hand and just believe
I used to trade
Hope away for something less, I was afraid
Of being disappointed when my plans decayed
Thought the best had gone and passed
But trust is coming back
Nothing is impossible
No, nothing is impossible
If mountains move and kingdoms fall
Then nothing is impossible
No, nothing is impossible

Got all these voices talking
Inside my head
Reminding me I’m broken
Like I’d forget
I’m starting to feel crazy
But I’d tune them out if I could
Critically analyzing
No room for error
Demanding my perfection
I could be better
I get so tired sometimes
Trying to live up to my head
But you take it easy on me
When I’m so hard on myself
I know I hurt you with my
Great expectations
Broken apart by all my
Evaluations
If I wanna love you better
I’ve got to love myself
You take it easy on me
When I’m so hard on myself
You take it easy on me
When I’m so hard on myself
Well, I know you’re in my corner
I know you got my back
Water in the desert
Yeah, you know where it’s at
A shade tree in the summer
With a hammock for two
Too good to be true
You take it easy on me
When I’m so hard on myself
Easy on me
Easy on me
You take it easy on me
When I’m so hard on myself
You take it easy on me
When I’m so hard on myself
You take it easy on me
When I’m so hard on myself

We’ve been sleeping in every Saturday morning
Waking up slow to the light pouring in
Coffee is on, life is beautifully boring againI used to think I was better on my own
Thought that I didn’t need anyone else
But you interrupted the story that I told myselfNow, who would I be without you
Where would I go
Thank God that I found you
What would I do if I lost you
And what good is love if it don’t cost you
I need you so much that it scares me
How did you come to be so necessaryIt's the way that you listen, the way that you see me
It’s how you keep trying when I’ve given up
I’m hard on myself, but you make me look easy to loveSo who would I be without you
Where would I go
Thank God that I found you
What would I do if I lost you
And what good is love if it don’t cost you
I need you so much that it scares me
How did you come to be so necessaryFor the first time in my life
I am not my own
So if I hold on too tight
It’s cuz I don’t knowWho I would be
Where I would go
What would I do if I lost you
What good is love if it don’t cost youWho would I be without you
Where would I go
Thank God that I found you
What would I do if I lost you
And what good is love if it don’t cost you
I need you so much that it scares me
How did you come to be so necessary
