Back To Empty

[Verse 1]
I got the keys, the view, the plan
Warm food on the counter, name in the bank
People who love me, calling my phone
Still I sit there, feeling alone

[Verse 2]
Every good day leaves a little trace
A flicker on my face, then it slips away
I tell myself, "This should be enough"
But my mind keeps checking for some missing stuff

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate how fast it goes
Joy in one hand, then it folds
I reach, I reach, I reach
It drifts right through me

[Chorus]
I want to be content
I want to be content
Stay in the moment
Stay in the moment

But I fall back down
Back to bored and afraid
Back to the hollow sound
Back where the worry stays

[Verse 3]
I stack up wins like plates on a shelf
Then stare at the space and forget myself
Soft little wins, big promises too
Still my chest goes tight when the room goes blue

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate how fast it goes
Joy in one hand, then it folds
I reach, I reach, I reach
It drifts right through me

[Chorus]
I want to be content
I want to be content
Stay in the moment
Stay in the moment

But I fall back down
Back to bored and afraid
Back to the hollow sound
Back where the worry stays

[Bridge]
Maybe peace is a practice
Not a prize I can hold
Maybe this heart needs patience
More than gold

So I breathe in the small things
The cup, the light, the rain
If the void comes back again
I’ll still say

[Final Chorus]
I want to be content
I want to be content
Stay in the moment
Stay in the moment

I may fall back down
Back to bored and afraid
But I’m learning how
To let one good thing stay

I want to be content
I want to be content
