It Works 3:36

I learned how to keep it quiet
I learned where the edges are
I don’t chase every open door
I like things how they are
I moved the noise into another room
I closed it when I was done
I tell myself I don’t miss it
I tell myself I don’t run

I’ve got it handled
I’ve got the time
I know where I’m supposed to land
I don’t rush it
I don’t ask
I say the part that always lasts

I’m not lost, I’m just staying put
I call it knowing better
I don’t need every question now
I like things lighter
I say I’m fine, I say it works
I say it like it’s proven
This is what freedom feels like
When everything is chosen

I got good at making sense of it
I got good at sounding clear
I stopped asking what it’s for
And started counting years
I don’t need much to feel okay
I don’t need much at all
I keep my hands where I can see them
I don’t reach, I don’t fall

I’ve got it handled
I’ve got the time
I know where I’m supposed to land
I don’t rush it
I don’t ask
I say the part that always lasts

I’m not lost, I’m just staying put
I call it knowing better
I don’t need every question now
I like things lighter
I say I’m fine, I say it works
I say it like it’s proven
This is what freedom feels like
When everything is chosen

I say it works
I say it works
I say it works
I say it works
I say it
I say it
It works

I’m not lost, I’m just staying put
I call it knowing better
I don’t need every question now
I like things lighter
I say I’m fine, I say it works
I say it like it’s proven
This is what freedom feels like
When everything is chosen
