[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
