[Intro — quietly, almost spoken] Hey Universe I have a question Can I have some clarity tonight? I’ve been turning all these choices Over in my mind How do I know Which one’s right? [Verse 1] I’ve looked at every angle I’ve followed every thread I’ve had a hundred conversations Living in my head Every road looks different Every road looks good And I keep trying to see the ending Before I ever choose Hey Universe You know how I get Trying to hold tomorrow Before it’s happened yet [Chorus] So tell me Do I stay? Do I go? Do I wait for something I don’t even know? Do I follow what feels easy? Do I follow what feels true? I’ve been asking for an answer Like that’s something you could do Hey Universe Maybe I should ask for less Don’t tell me where I’m going Just show me how good it gets [Verse 2] Hey Universe You’ve seen me bare my soul Cry there in the shower So nobody would know You’ve watched me come undone Then pull myself together The designated strong one Holding on through any weather I’ve carried everybody I’ve carried everything And somewhere down the line I forgot I could just be Maybe that’s why letting go Feels harder than it should I’ve learned to plan for everything Before I trust the good [Chorus] So tell me Do I stay? Do I go? Do I wait for something I don’t even know? Do I follow what feels easy? Do I follow what feels true? I’ve been asking for an answer Like that’s something you could do Hey Universe Maybe I should ask for less Don’t tell me where I’m going Just show me how good it gets [Verse 3] I’ve lived a hundred tomorrows Lying here tonight I’ve watched them all go beautifully I’ve watched them all go sideways I’ve won I’ve lost I’ve stayed I’ve left I’ve made every choice Except the one that’s here And none of it is real yet None of it has been I’m wearing myself thin Over places I haven’t been [Bridge — barely above a whisper] Maybe there’s no right road Maybe there’s just mine Maybe I won’t recognize it Till I’m on the other side Maybe I can turn around Maybe I can change my mind Maybe nothing meant for me Requires me to know ahead of time And maybe getting lost Isn’t always what it seems Sometimes you find another road You never thought you’d need [Break] Hey Universe… I think I get it I’ve been asking you To tell me what comes next When maybe all I needed Was permission to take a step [Final Chorus] So I can stay I can go I don’t have to see tomorrow Just to trust what I know I can follow what feels honest I can leave some things unknown I don’t need the whole damn universe To tell me where to go Hey Universe I think I’m ready for what’s next I don’t need to know the ending Just show me how good it gets [Outro] Hey Universe… That’s all. Show me how good it gets.
