Unfinished View

[Verse 1]
The rent is paid, the kettle sings
A clean white shirt, a drawer of things
There’s food enough for one more plate
Still I’m awake, still I can’t wait

The room is warm, the window’s shut
I count the good, then add it up
A little saved, a little time
A little dream I call mine

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I’m lucky, I know it’s true
But wanting more keeps pulling through

[Chorus]
I’ve got more than I once knew how to name
Still I’m reaching past the frame
Full hands, open eyes, unfinished view
I’m grateful, but I’m dreaming too

[Verse 2]
The cupboard’s full, the train is late
I take the long way past the gate
A photograph beside the bed
Of somewhere I have never been yet

I hear my friends say, “You’re doing fine”
I smile and let the words land softly this time
But underneath that easy tune
There’s a little room I want to move into soon

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t pretend the good is small
I just don’t think it’s all

[Chorus]
I’ve got more than I once knew how to name
Still I’m reaching past the frame
Full hands, open eyes, unfinished view
I’m grateful, but I’m dreaming too

[Bridge]
Maybe wanting isn’t proof I’m poor
Maybe hope is what the heart is for
I can hold this life and still look ahead
Keep the present, chase the thread

[Final Chorus]
I’ve got more than I once knew how to name
Still I’m reaching past the frame
Full hands, open eyes, unfinished view
I’m grateful, but I’m dreaming too

[Outro]
The kettle cools, the evening bends
I have enough, and I begin again
