[Silence]
[Arrangement: Fast-moving folk-rock with restless acoustic guitar, driving percussion, and a chorus that feels like motion even when trying to stand still]
[Intro]
Sit still
(No freewill)
Don’t move
(Or groove)
[Verse 1]
I made a promise
(To the floor)
I said I’d linger
(Just one hour more)
But times get tricky
(Under skin)
Like a wind that says
(“Keep movin’”)
[Refrain]
I’d love to:
(Stay put!)
But, but, but…
(I’m telling you)
… you know…
I gotta go
(We gotta go)
Go, go, go
[Verse 2]
The map is folded
(On the desk)
The quiet plans
(Become a mess)
A distant whistle
(A calling tone)
Turns every place
(Into unknown)
And still I try
(To settle in)
But movement wins
(Again, again)
[Chorus]
I’d love to stay
(Stay put!)
Hold the line
(Stay put!)
But “whether” pulls
(Me out again)
Out the door
(Into the wind)
I’d love to stay
(Stay put!)
But weather has it’s way
(Move it!)
The world keeps saying
“Go on, go on”
(So I commit)
[Bridge]
Is it me
(Or gravity?)
Or just the shape
(Of self-imposed destiny?)
[Breakdown]
Would love to sit still…
(Forced to move)
Against my will
Gotta move…
(Don’t approve)
But I’m already
(Gone, gone, gone)
[Final Chorus]
I’d love to:
(Stay put!)
But the world says
“Move a bit”
I’d love to:
(Stay put!)
But the moment
(Doesn’t quit)
So I go
(Go, go, go)
Away from where the current’s
(Flow goes)
[Outro]
I’d love to:
(Stay put!)
But the movement
(Doesn’t quit)
