[Verse 1] The sun keeps landing on the right side of the day Good news keeps finding me in ordinary ways Your hand in mine, the bills all paid on time Still I watch my own good fortune pass me by [Pre-Chorus] I count the green lights, count the people who stay I know I'm safe; I still can't make the feeling obey [Chorus] Everything is good, so why can't I move? My heart's got the facts, but it won't take the cue The garden's coming in, the sky is clear and wide And I am here, still stuck on the inside Everything is good, I know it, I do But knowing doesn't tell me what to do [Verse 2] The rent is handled, there's a song I like on repeat A friend brings peaches, warm from the afternoon heat I laugh at the right parts, I mean every word Then some small wave rolls in, and my whole mind blurs [Pre-Chorus] I can name the blessings, every one in a row They don't switch off the weight that I can't show [Chorus] Everything is good, so why can't I move? My heart's got the facts, but it won't take the cue The garden's coming in, the sky is clear and wide And I am here, still stuck on the inside Everything is good, I know it, I do But knowing doesn't tell me what to do [Bridge] Maybe I can let both things be true: I love this life, and I feel lost in it too No verdict, no lesson I have to extract Just this strange weather, and the ground holding fast [Final Chorus] Everything is good, and still I feel caught No tidy answer for the ache I haven't sought The garden's coming in, the sky is clear and wide I'll stay right here with both worlds side by side Everything is good, I know it, I do And maybe that's enough for now to move through
