LYRICS

I’ve never been this still
I’ve never lived this way
You can get so used almost anything, they say
But I don’t know how to stay

I have never set sail
But, I’ve heard it feels this way
You can get so used to every rock and sway
That you don’t know how to stay
now, you don’t know how to stay

I’ve been living like there was no answer to the call
there was no hand that I could hold
there was no melody that trusted me
to carry all the words I’d held inside me for so long
that I don’t even know what’s wrong
I’m just crying

I’ve never listened in
To what I had to say
You can get so used to pushing every thought away
That they don’t know how to stay
Now they don’t know how to stay

I’ve never been this still.
