[Verse 1] I used to write things down Then cross them out Kept my head low Kept my mouth shut tight A quiet room A sharper view And in that hush I found the truth [Pre-Chorus] It wasn't gone Just buried deep Under all the noise Under what they need Now I can tell What fits, what fades I hear that voice And it sounds like me [Chorus] Hear me now Hear me now I know my own sound Hear me now Hear me now I'm not looking down [Verse 2] Small details Coffee rings The way I stand The way I think No grand display No perfect line Just one clear yes Inside my mind [Pre-Chorus] It wasn't gone Just buried deep Under all the noise Under what they need Now I can tell What fits, what fades I hear that voice And it sounds like me [Chorus] Hear me now Hear me now I know my own sound Hear me now Hear me now I'm not looking down [Bridge] I thought I needed a crowd to call it right But the room got clear when I stopped asking why What if the answer was mine all along What if the whole time I was the one I'd been waiting on [Final Chorus] Hear me now Hear me now I know my own sound Hear me now Hear me now I stand my ground Hear me now Hear me now I found the road I found the light I'm finally home
