[Verse 1] Some mornings the ceiling feels miles away, The weight of the air steals words I should say. Every ticking clock sounds like thunder in my head, I’m surrounded by faces, but I still feel left for dead. The streets are oceans I can’t seem to cross, Every step reminds me of all that I’ve lost. The world grows so big that I disappear, Drowning in echoes nobody can hear. [Pre-Chorus] The noise keeps screaming, Even when nobody speaks. I keep searching for tomorrow, But today just buries me. [Chorus] When I’m low, the world’s too loud, Every heartbeat’s lost inside the crowd. The sky stretches forever, I can’t find the shore, I don’t know if I can do this anymore. But when I’m high, the world’s so small, Just your hand reaching out when I start to fall. A quiet room, a laugh, a child’s smile, And suddenly this life is worth the while. Funny how the same old earth can be A prison… or the place that sets me free. [Verse 2] Then the sun finds cracks inside my soul, And little things begin to make me whole. Coffee on the porch, birds in the trees, Your head on my shoulder, the cool summer breeze. The universe shrinks to the ones that I love, I stop chasing answers from somewhere above. A heartbeat, a kitchen, a dog at the door, I realise I don’t need much more. [Bridge] Maybe I’m not broken, Maybe I’m the tide. Always moving in and out, Never one long ride. If you find me in the darkness, Don’t believe the things I say. The storm convinces sailors That there’ll never be a day. So leave a light inside the window, Tell me home is waiting still. Because tomorrow wears a different face, And hope always outruns the hill. [Final Chorus] When I’m low, the world’s too loud, Every shadow hides inside the crowd. It whispers I’d be better gone, But I’ve learned that whisper’s always wrong. When I’m high, the world’s so small, Just the people I’d give everything for. A gentle kiss, a family photograph, The kind of peace that lives inside a laugh. So if tonight the world feels endless, And every road just disappears, Hold on long enough to see the sunrise— The loud world doesn’t stay here. [Outro] The world never changes size… Only the heart that’s looking at it. And somewhere between the noise and the silence, I’m still learning that both belong to me.
