right now(remix) (Quieter Skies Cut)

[Verse 1] I wake up in a room that is quiet and small Tracing every crack that is drawn on the wall Kettle sings while the daylight feels thin I keep whispering to shadows like they might let me in Used to think I could carry this whole hard fight Now I’m just moving slow, trying to stay upright Watching the second hand circle my doubts Everything I thought I’d hold keeps finding ways out [Pre-Chorus] And I know — I know that I am not the one in control I know — there is something here steady and whole So I ask, ā€œIs there a path hidden under this heavy soul?ā€ [Chorus] Right now, I don’t even understand it Right now, I can barely even stand it But I’m on my knees anyway, lifting up the ache Right now, I’m learning how to let go Right now, I’m easing off of the road ā€˜Cause somewhere past the pain, there’s a reason for the rain [Verse 2] 3 AM, and the street’s painted blue Passing by the places I once walked with you Used to ring once and you’d meet me outside Pull me in from the cold, breathing warm by my side Now I just sit at the light till it turns back green Watching every old memory flicker between I’m not the one you call, I’m not where you stay But some nights the missing pulls me back anyway [Pre-Chorus] And I know — I know that I am not the one in control I know — there is something here steady and whole So I ask, ā€œIs there a path hidden under this heavy soul?ā€ [Chorus] Right now, I don’t even understand it Right now, I can barely even stand it But I’m on my knees anyway, lifting up the ache Right now, I’m learning how to let go Right now, I’m easing off of the road ā€˜Cause somewhere past the pain, there’s a reason for the rain [Bridge] (soft-spoken, building) Maybe the weight was never mine to keep Maybe these nights are seeds buried deep Maybe the door that stays closed in my face Is turning me gently toward another place I’m not asking for answers tied up in a bow Just asking for courage to loosen my hold And something reaches out when I can’t reach myself So right now — I won’t call it nothing, I’ll call it something else [Final Chorus] Right now, I don’t even understand it Right now, I can barely even stand it But I’m on my knees anyway, lifting up the ache Right now, I’m learning how to let go Right now, I’m easing off — of the road ā€˜Cause somewhere past the pain, there’s a reason There’s a reason for the rain [Outro] (soft, fading) I’ll stand at a new door someday Till then I’ll let the mile markers pass Right now… I’m not in control But I’m still here I’m still here
