[Verse 1] The sun keeps showing up on time My rent is paid, the dog is fine Your laugh is spilling down the hall I get the good news, feel nothing at all I know the names of what I love The full bright list, the living proof Still my hands go slack mid-day Like I misplaced the part that says okay [Pre-Chorus] I count the green lights, count the wins Then feel that old drop settle in I tell myself, “Look, you’re alright” My heart says, “Sure,” and dims the light [Chorus] Why can’t I reach what’s right here? Why does the good feel far away? I’m grateful, I mean it, I swear Still I can’t make the heavy lift today There’s nothing wrong I can point to No fire, no wreckage, no clear why I’ve got a life I love around me And still some days I can’t get by [Verse 2] The weekend opens wide and kind A friend saves me the window seat We trade old stories, split dessert I smile on cue, then miss the beat I don’t want pity, don’t want to pretend That being lucky means I’m fine I can hold both facts at once, I guess: This life is good; this feeling’s mine [Pre-Chorus] I count the green lights, count the wins The ache is here; it doesn’t mean I’m blind to every gift I’ve got Or that the good was all I dreamed [Chorus] Why can’t I reach what’s right here? Why does the good feel far away? I’m grateful, I mean it, I swear Still I can’t make the heavy lift today There’s nothing wrong I can point to No fire, no wreckage, no clear why I’ve got a life I love around me And still some days I can’t get by [Bridge] Maybe I don’t have to solve it Maybe naming it is enough I can let the good stay good While I’m having a harder month [Final Chorus] Why can’t I reach what’s right here? Why does the good feel far away? I’m grateful, I mean it, I swear And I can take this hour as it weighs There’s nothing wrong I can point to No simple fix, no clean reply I’ve got a life I love around me And I’m still here, though I don’t know why [Outro] I’m still here I’m still here
