Living Instead

(album: HEART CHANGE - 2021)

I need to stop living in my head
Going over every word that I said
Tripping over conversations
Giving into my frustrations
Feeding all the demons 'til there's nothing left
I need to drop my shoulders and breathe
Feel the sun wash over me
Cutting out the complications
Keeping me from my salvation
I'm the only one who can set me free

Woah

Got peace like a river rolling under my feet
Mercy on my soul like a faint drum beat
Rhythm in the trees blowing all around me
I need to stop living in my head
And start living instead
Start living instead

Don't need to be afraid of the sky
Need to give myself permission to fly
Breaking free from all the blame
Learning not to be ashamed
Of bones in the closet I tried to hide

Woah

Got peace like a river rolling under my feet
Mercy on my soul like a faint drum beat
Rhythm in the trees blowing all around me
I need to stop living in my head
Let grace rain down like a long lost friend
Watch the clouds break, let the light back in
Gotta tell myself to tell me again
I need to stop living in my head
And start living instead

If you been all the way down (You can hear it)
If you put your ear to the ground (You can hear it)
Talk about a beautiful sound, I need that

Got peace like a river rolling under my feet
Mercy on my soul like a faint drum beat
Rhythm in the trees blowing all around me
I need to stop living in my head (Yeah)
Let grace rain down like a long lost friend (Ooh)
Watch the clouds break, let the light back in (Ooh)
Gotta tell myself to tell me again (Yeah, yeah)
I need to stop living in my head
I need to stop living in my head
I need to stop living in my head
Start living instead
Start living instead
Start living instead

Woah
Ooh, yeah
