Everything Is Good

[Verse 1]
The sun keeps landing on the right side of the day
Good news keeps finding me in ordinary ways
Your hand in mine, the bills all paid on time
Still I watch my own good fortune pass me by

[Pre-Chorus]
I count the green lights, count the people who stay
I know I'm safe; I still can't make the feeling obey

[Chorus]
Everything is good, so why can't I move?
My heart's got the facts, but it won't take the cue
The garden's coming in, the sky is clear and wide
And I am here, still stuck on the inside
Everything is good, I know it, I do
But knowing doesn't tell me what to do

[Verse 2]
The rent is handled, there's a song I like on repeat
A friend brings peaches, warm from the afternoon heat
I laugh at the right parts, I mean every word
Then some small wave rolls in, and my whole mind blurs

[Pre-Chorus]
I can name the blessings, every one in a row
They don't switch off the weight that I can't show

[Chorus]
Everything is good, so why can't I move?
My heart's got the facts, but it won't take the cue
The garden's coming in, the sky is clear and wide
And I am here, still stuck on the inside
Everything is good, I know it, I do
But knowing doesn't tell me what to do

[Bridge]
Maybe I can let both things be true:
I love this life, and I feel lost in it too
No verdict, no lesson I have to extract
Just this strange weather, and the ground holding fast

[Final Chorus]
Everything is good, and still I feel caught
No tidy answer for the ache I haven't sought
The garden's coming in, the sky is clear and wide
I'll stay right here with both worlds side by side
Everything is good, I know it, I do
And maybe that's enough for now to move through
