Never Thought to Look
(Jeremy Bose, Trent Dabbs, David Hodges)
open house was on a sunday
it’s getting harder to pretend
people pushing through the door
wearing clothes they can’t afford
i always said
i’d never be like one of them
between the younger years of restless
and the settled here and now
all these questions that i ask
now that i am looking back i see that
what i had was what i found
so why did i wish for a better life
after everything that i tried
i couldn’t see it
but if i only understood
it’s the only place
i never thought to look
somehow i never even noticed
all the beauty in between
a simple word, a quiet house
a kiss before we fall asleep here
on the couch
all i have is all i need
between the younger years of restless
and the settled here and now
why did i doubt
