[Verse 1]
I love how you smile
So easily
You breathe like the room
Has room for me
Your sleep looks so sure
Your face unguarded
Mine starts a fight
Before it’s started
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t know why
It cuts so deep
You rest your head
And I can’t keep
Still for a minute
Still in my skin
I hear one thought
And it pulls me in
[Chorus]
I envy your peace
I envy your peace
Mine turns small things war
Mine turns small things war
I envy your peace
I envy your peace
You lay it down light
I carry it hard
[Verse 2]
You let it go clean
A dropped cup, a name
A day that went wrong
Doesn’t stay the same
But I hold each glance
Like it means a lot
Read every silence
Till it comes to blows
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t know why
I keep score
You walk right through
I slam the door
Inside my own head
I pace the floor
One tiny spark
And I want more
[Chorus]
I envy your peace
I envy your peace
Mine turns small things war
Mine turns small things war
I envy your peace
I envy your peace
You lay it down light
I carry it hard
[Bridge]
If I could borrow
The way you stay
When the world goes crooked
And pulls away
I’d keep it close
I’d learn it slow
Not every feeling
Has to grow
[Final Chorus]
I envy your peace
I envy your peace
Mine turns small things war
Mine turns small things war
I envy your peace
I envy your peace
You lay it down light
I carry it hard
I envy your peace
I envy your peace
Teach me that soft
Teach me that hard
