Nothing Fancy

Woke up late, no plans today
Air smelled like toast and yesterday
Tied my hair with a borrowed band
Danced along with a coffee in my hand
Opened the blinds, let the daylight pour
Fed the cat, forgot what I came in for
Sat barefoot on the kitchen floor
Thinking maybe I don't need much more

No big moves, no reason why
Just played that old song, let it ride

Nothing fancy, nothing new
Just the sky in a softer hue
Nothing heavy, nothin' high
Just a breath and a quiet sigh
Nothing fancy, but it's me

Nothing fancy, nothing
Nothing fancy, nothing

A notebook filled with half-song lines
Moments I didn't try to refine
Used to chase a spotlight in my mind
Now I write just to feel aligned
A kid ran past with dreams to hold
He laughed so free, it felt like gold
Jotted thoughts in the margin's fold
Little pieces I'll never show

No big moves, no reasons why
Just played that old song, let it ride
The world was soft, and so was I
Just played that old song, it feels right

Nothing fancy, nothing new
Just the sky in a softer hue
Nothing heavy, nothing high
Just a breath and a quiet sigh
Nothing fancy, but it's me

Nothing fancy, nothing
Nothing fancy, nothing
Nothing fancy, nothing
Nothing fancy, nothing

If you catch me in plain view
With my headphones on, nothing to do
Know I'm not chasing something new
Just playing songs once felt true
