[Verse 1]
You say
"It’s just one email"
I hear thunder in my chest
You call it "nothing
Really"
I turn it into a test
You walk through open doorways
I measure every step
You joke
"You overthink it"
I laugh
But I still sweat
[Chorus]
I can do better
I know
But everything feels like a mountain
You say it’s only a small hill
You’re already at the fountain
You call it simple
I call it stormy weather
You say it’s little
I make it last forever
I can do better
I know
But I’m wired different
Wired different
[Verse 2]
You text
"Let’s see our friends tonight"
My brain hits a red light
You’re halfway out the bedroom
I’m still rehearsing lines
You say
"Just pick a t-shirt"
I’m scrolling through my doubts
You’re humming in the hallway
I’m trying to breathe it out
[Chorus]
I can do better
I know
But everything feels like a mountain
You say it’s only a small hill
You’re dancing down like it’s nothing
You call it simple
I call it stormy weather
You say it’s little
I make it last forever
I can do better
I know
But I’m wired different
Wired different
[Bridge]
[Call] You say
"It’s fine to be like this"
[Response] I say
"I wish I was lighter" (oh)
[Call] You say
"I love your careful heart"
[Response] I say
"I just want to be kinder"
Both: Meet me halfway on that hill
You run ahead
I stay still
You turn back
Hold out your hand
We take it slow
We start again
[Chorus]
I can do better
I know
But everything feels like a mountain
You say it’s only a small hill
You promise you’re not counting
You call it simple
I call it stormy weather
You say it’s little
We try to climb together
I can do better
I know
But I’m wired different
Wired different
[Outro]
Small hill
Big heart
You and me
Same start
Small hill
Big heart
You don’t let me fall apart (oh yeah)
