Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m sitting at the lake
Drinking coffee slow
Reading half a page
Then I let it go
Trying to turn off my mind
Like a switch I own
But it keeps a ledger
Of every thing I owe
[Pre-Chorus]
I want that easy
That hush in the bones
One of those girls
Who looks at home
[Chorus]
How do I be still
How do I be still
When my name is all these tasks
How do I be still
How do I be still
When my heart won’t sit in grass
[Verse 2]
My mind races fast
With responsibility
Bills in a paper stack
And unfulfillment in me
I see her on the shore
So calm in the sun
And I feel like a wave
That never gets done
[Pre-Chorus]
I want that easy
That hush in the bones
One of those girls
Who looks at home
[Chorus]
How do I be still
How do I be still
When my name is all these tasks
How do I be still
How do I be still
When my heart won’t sit in grass
[Bridge]
Maybe stillness
Is not a blank mind
Maybe it’s a soft place
I can step inside
One breath
One cup
One page
One yes
[Final Chorus]
How do I be still
How do I be still
When my name is all these tasks
How do I be still
How do I be still
When my heart won’t sit in grass
How do I be still
How do I be still
Just for now, I can rest at last

Style
Indie-pop ballad with a soft brushed groove and warm piano arpeggios; verse rides sparse acoustic guitar and close-mic vocal, pre-chorus opens with swelling pads and a rising harmony, chorus lands half-time with stacked doubles on the hook. Add a reversed swell before each chorus, vinyl crackle under the intro, and a gentle chime tail after key phrases. Intimate, airy, and polished with a tender low-end thump., reading
