Verse 1 I lie awake counting hours again, The harder I try to sleep, the louder it gets. Thoughts keep turning, turning, The more I fight them, the longer the night. Chorus Hold too tight, it slips away. Open your hands, blow them away. The more you push, the less you feel. Let it come when it will. Verse 2 I want to feel happy, so I chase it down, Plan every moment, force every smile. But the harder I look, the further it goes, Until I’m just tired from running in place. Chorus Hold too tight, it slips away. Open your hands,blow them away. The more you push, the less you feel. Let it come when it will. Verse 3 I try to be liked, I try to seem sure, Fix every word, hide every doubt. But the more I need it, the colder it feels, Until I just stop trying. Bridge Loosen the grip, breathe out slow. Not giving up—just letting go. Quiet comes in the space I leave, When I stop asking it to arrive. Final Chorus (soft, almost spoken) Hold too tight, it slips away. Open your hands, it might stay. The less you chase, the closer it gets. It was already here anyway. Outro Already here… Already here… (fade on single guitar note)
