Lyrics
Verse 1 White wall, cool lights, “just be still,” she says, Nothing in my hands but the breath I kept. Black tee, old jeans, laugh caught halfway out, Someone hits the shutter on a quiet I found. Funny how a moment doesn’t ask to shine— It shows up anyway and calls it mine. Pre-Chorus If the world wants more than the truth can give, Let it race the clock while we learn to live. Take another breath, feel the floor, the ground— Name what’s here, then lay it down. Chorus Only this right now, Heartbeat steady like a soft hand drum. Only this right now, Let the rest fall back where it came from. No caption needed for the way it sounds— Your eyes, this light, this little piece of ground. I don’t need to figure out the how— Only this, only this right now. Post-Chorus Right now, right now, Only this right now. Right now, right now, Only this right now. Verse 2 Brake lights, slow miles, city hums like rain, Letterboard outside with a simple plain phrase. Name tag “MARIE,” steam and coffee in the air, Hands learn the weight of a scoop they share. No one needs an anthem for a plate and a smile— We’re here, that’s enough, stay a little while. Pre-Chorus Let the headlines drive where the headlines go, I’ll count quiet wins only I can know. Rinse the tray, stack the chair, close the door— Presence is the thing I came here for. Chorus Only this right now, Heartbeat steady like a soft hand drum. Only this right now, Let the rest fall back where it came from. No caption needed for the way it sounds— Your eyes, this light, this little piece of ground. I don’t need to figure out the how— Only this, only this right now. Bridge Still is a verb when you let it be, Moving without trying to be seen. Say less, feel more, let the moment teach— All I was chasing is within my reach. Down Chorus Only this right now, Only this right now, No caption needed for the way it sounds— Your eyes, this light, this little piece of ground. Final Chorus Only this right now, Heartbeat steady like a soft hand drum. Only this right now, Let the rest fall back where it came from. I don’t need to figure out the how— Only this, only this right now. Only this—only this—right now, Only this right now. Tag Only this right now.
