I’m tracing circles in the steam on coffee cup Thinking ‘bout the ways we grow, then we soften up How happy I am to be Where I am now When you are Now I can never know Where you've come from I can only ever see Where you are now I'd love to hear All the things That made you The person you are today Yo, look at me I came from the mud, no map, no guide (no guide) Dodged every trap, every snake, every lie they tried (they tried) Got so tired, now I stand in the light, don’t even try to hide I built this peace brick by brick They call it “no drama” like it’s boring or safe (safe?) What do you say Give me a chance Let me see what it was like To be you, living up till now You should honestly bow Your story isn't finished We must think infinities Because we deserve All that we can dream Nothing is as it seems Time has a funny way Of disguising all the pain it took To achieve the dream You're living today And it’s 90 beats a minute just to keep my heart steady Waiting on the world, but I’m never really ready I used to run until my lungs burned, chasing all the gold Yeah, it’s a delicate balance, walking on the wire Between cold water and flicker of the fire Life starts to lose all its meaning It starts eating the foundations that we laid down Believing that somehow we Are inherently screwing it up But if you truly screwed it up Why are you still here with me today? So I just wanna say You may downplay The life you achieved today But you don't need to say Anything The places we stand In the spaces between The points in time From where we began To where our journey ends Tell me everything I need to know That you are stronger You are worth it That your life today Is one you shouldn’t Ever have to change The weight of the past Makes it feel like happiness doesn't last So we hide when we're in between The good and the bad Because it's the only time We truly know stability And that's scary Who wants to lose Their even footing No need for the shouting, I can hear you in the hush Life is more than just the friction and the rush This ain’t luck, this ain’t chance, this ain’t good phase I got promises to myself that I’m trying to keep There's no need to downplay With every word you say Just how much it took To achieve a life Where you don't have complaints It's easy to see others’ happiness And think the way you're living life Is somehow less than But did you ever think That it might be better than? Shoot for honesty first, polish second Live the life that makes you happy Not the one others seem to enjoy more So I just wanna say Don't downplay Where you are today You try to say You're boring, you're “No Drama” But everyone has drama, that's life Don’t ever let ‘em make you feel small For the calm you earned You've attained the kind of storm That adds towards the future Not drains your will to live You're at a place, in the space In between the points in time From the beginning of the good And the ending of the bad So I just wanna say You may downplay The life you achieved today But you don't need to say Anything Don’t ever let ‘em make you feel small For the calm you earned So don't ever downplay The place you are today You are stronger You are worth it Your life today Is one you shouldn’t Ever have to change.
