Solid Ground (Brownstein)

I think I’d like to take it slow 

But I’m still learning to be flexible 

Some things I don’t need to know 

Some things I’m still trying to let go 

Remember we’d imagine 

We’d do things just because of passion 

Our dreams so close we could grab them

So why would we settle for habits? 

A mind tends to wander places you don’t want to go

When you keep asking questions with the answers that you’ve known

Reflex and reject only increases the weight

Escape and erase instead of finding other ways to say 

I keep running round, my dear old mind 

I keep running ‘round and running ‘round again all the time 

I need to slow it down, reach some solid ground

Take those mistakes and start to make the space for change, turn around 

Just relax, everybody pays some kind of tax 

Not always sure how to pay it back

But I’ll endure it just to find out what comes next 

Worry never did me well 

All those stories that my brain would tell 

I’m thankful for the laughter 

That always comes after 

We open up the bottled feelings hiding in the fridge 

It’s okay to talk about the people that we miss 

We don’t have to be scared if we listen 

We can be deepening the friendship not deepening the pit

I keep running round, my dear old mind 

I keep running ‘round and running ‘round again all the time 

I need to slow it down, reach some solid ground

Take those mistakes and start to make the space for change, turn around
