Stay Open (Remix)

V6

[INTRO — spoken, sparse pulse] Pay attention. Not because something is wrong. Because something is happening. Something is always happening. [BEAT ENTERS] Follow whatever is calling you. That distant light. That strange idea. That road you weren't planning to take. Follow it. Just don't stare so hard at the road ahead that you stop seeing what's beside you. [REFRAIN] Pay attention. Look ahead. Look around. Stay awake. Not afraid. Aware. [VERSE — conversational] It's easy to disappear into the thing you're chasing. The destination. The idea. The person. The screen. The voice inside your own head. You can become so focused on where you're going you stop noticing where you are. [BREAK — lighter] Relax. Look around. You're still here. Keep your hands on the wheel, but leave the windows open. Let some air in. Let the world interrupt you once in a while. [REFRAIN — rhythmic] Pay attention. Not because something is wrong. Because something is happening. Right now. Beside you. Behind you. Above you. Maybe somewhere you weren't looking. [VERSE] You don't have to control everything to know where you're going. You don't have to understand everything to recognize when something matters. There's a difference between being in control and holding everything too tightly. There's a difference between wandering and being lost. [BEAT OPENS] Stay curious. Stay loose. Keep moving. But keep a little attention in the periphery. That's where things appear. The movement at the edge. The sound you can't quite place. The possibility you almost walked past. [REFRAIN] Pay attention. Look ahead. Look around. Stay awake. Not afraid. Aware. [BRIDGE — music pulls back] Follow the signal. Follow the strange little pull that says, this way. Just don't become so consumed by the calling that you miss what's calling from somewhere else. [FINAL BUILD] Relax. You don't need to grip the wheel until your hands hurt. You don't need to predict every turn. You don't need to close the windows to stay on the road. Be in control. Be open. Those aren't opposites. [FINAL REFRAIN] Pay attention. Not because something is wrong. Because something is happening. Something is always happening. Look ahead. Look around. Stay awake. Not afraid. Aware. [OUTRO — beat continues, voice quieter] And don't lose yourself trying to find the way. Stay open to what finds you.
