Under a song I was writing for you

Quiet and easy, what I wanted to prove

The plainest thing, the plainest thing

I walk right by it, it's just the plainest thing

Sun hits the floor, same as shadows will

So I sat in the light, and I stayed very still

Heat on my skin, bright in my face

I didn't have any questions, I didn't feel out of place
