I used to hold my breath too long
To keep myself from getting it wrong.
I turned my own room into a court
Where every little mistake had to be fought.
I pulled the curtain open wide,
And let the morning come inside.
I gave my shoulders room to rest,
And took a breath, not a test.
I kick off my shoes on the wooden floor,
The fan spins round like a lazy oar.
I soften all the edges I wore before,
I don't need to be so strong anymore.
I kick off my shoes on the wooden floor,
The fan spins round like a lazy oar.
I send the old shoulds out the door,
And find the calm I'm looking for.
