[Intro] Nothing happened today Maybe that’s the point No sirens No finish line Just air in the room And time [Verse 1] I used to measure every hour in miles Stack little numbers just to call it a life Running upstairs in a building with no roof Chasing a shadow like I needed the proof Clock on the wall had teeth in its face Every little second said pick up the pace So I ran till the night started bleeding to dawn Had everything moving, but something was gone Now the room stays still Kettle starts singing Sun through the curtain Phone ain’t ringing No medal on the table No name in the sky Just a half-empty cup And I’m still alive [Hook] Nothing happened today Nothing broke, nothing burned No mountain moved No tables turned Ten quiet minutes With nowhere to be Maybe that’s all That time owes me Nothing happened today And for once that’s enough Maybe peace was always here I was just moving too much [Verse 2] Everybody’s building towers out of sand Counting every grain like it’s part of the plan Higher gets better till the wind comes around Funny how the tallest things still hit the ground I used to trade sleep for a seat at the table Trade days for a future whenever I’m able But the future kept moving like smoke through a door Every time I got close, it asked me for more So now I cook slow Let the evening arrive Let a record spin Let the silence survive Somewhere a train keeps chasing the track Tonight I don’t care if I’m falling behind Maybe falling behind Is just getting my time back [Hook] Nothing happened today Nothing broke, nothing burned No mountain moved No tables turned Ten quiet minutes With nowhere to be Maybe that’s all That time owes me Nothing happened today And for once that’s enough Maybe peace was always here I was just moving too much [Bridge] We built clocks Then bowed to the hands Built ladders Then forgot where we stand Built numbers Put a price on the air Ran toward tomorrow Like today wasn’t there Maybe the river knows something we don’t It never asks where it’s going It just goes [Verse 3] So leave the scoreboard glowing in an empty arcade Let somebody else play the game that we made I got windows and rain I got food on a plate I got nowhere to run I got no one to race And maybe one morning The noise comes again Doors start opening I step back in But tonight I’m not late I’m not early I’m here And that’s a strange kind of wealth When the room becomes clear [Outro] Nothing happened today No victory No defeat Just ten quiet minutes And me Still here.
