lyrics

I know we’ve all felt it
Young or old, rich or poor
To want control of yourself for once
But when the leaves turn the wind has its way
Be steady, be steady
Just enough to stay

Take root in the shaking earth
Never lose sight of home
The one place where it all makes sense

The quiet, the quiet drives me insane

What am I still looking for
If an age is supposed to change me
What am I still looking at
If the mirror never reflects itself

I know we’ve all felt it
A sense of foundation
But it doesn’t ever have to end
To feel your veins coursing with happiness
Be proud, be proud
Just enough to stay

Take root in the shaking earth
Never lose sight of home
The one place where it all makes sense

The quiet, the quiet drives me insane
