[Verse 1]
Used to chase the hardest hurt
Picking at the same old word
Turning every quiet look
Into some tragic little book
Wore my heartbreak like a brand
Black ink on the back of my hand
Waiting for somebody’s eyes
To read the pain and call it right
[Chorus]
But I’m softly out of season
From all that stormy thinking
I don’t need the crash to feel it
I don’t need the crowd to see it
Let the moment pass
I’m breathing
I don’t beg the waves to drown me
I’m a little more at ease and
I don’t need your fire to crown me
[Verse 2]
Now the highs don’t have to burn
I don’t twist when tables turn
Let your silence be your own
I don’t carve it into stone
Take my joy in smaller sips
Not in speeches
Not in scripts
I can feel it
Let it stay
Even when there’s nothing big to say
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m softly out of season
From all that stormy thinking
I don’t need the crash to feel it
I don’t need the crowd to see it
Let the moment pass
I’m breathing
I don’t beg the waves to drown me
I’m a little more at ease and
I don’t need your fire to crown me
[Bridge]
If you flare up
I stay quiet (mm)
If you fade out
I stay kind
I’m not fishing in your riot
For a reason to feel alive
[Chorus]
I’m softly out of season
From all that stormy thinking
I don’t need the crash to feel it
I don’t need the crowd to see it
Let the moment pass
I’m breathing
I don’t beg the waves to drown me
I’m a little more at ease and
I don’t need your fire to crown me
