Borrowed Lives

[Verse 1]
You got a good hand
Dinner on the stove
Someone by your side
A place that feels like home
Still your eyes go wandering
To rooms you never knew
Like every other heartbeat
Has something more than you

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
That kind of wanting
Pulls you by the sleeve
I know
You keep comparing
What you have to what you dream

[Chorus]
You want what you don’t have
You want what you don’t have
But look at this life
Look at this life
You’re standing in a good one
You’re standing in a good one
So stay here, stay here
And let it feel alive

[Verse 2]
There’s a laugh in the hallway
A warm light on the wall
A name you can say soft
When the night feels small
But the mind keeps shopping
For a different open door
Till the best thing in your hands
Feels like less than what you’re for

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
That kind of wanting
Makes the truth look dim
I know
You keep on reaching
For a life that isn’t him

[Chorus]
You want what you don’t have
You want what you don’t have
But look at this life
Look at this life
You’re standing in a good one
You’re standing in a good one
So stay here, stay here
And let it feel alive

[Bridge]
Maybe gratitude is a muscle
Maybe love is a choice
Maybe peace is quiet water
Not a louder voice
Turn around
Take it in
All the little things you missed
This life is not a draft
It’s the one you get to live

[Chorus]
You want what you don’t have
You want what you don’t have
But look at this life
Look at this life
You’re standing in a good one
You’re standing in a good one
So stay here, stay here
And let it feel alive
