Nothing special

A song about getting back to a previous experience

Verse 1

I thought it would feel like lightning

Like angels in my chest

Like permanent sunrise living

Like never needing rest

But it showed up like Tuesday

Like traffic lights and rain

Like coffee getting colder

Like feeling joy and pain

Chorus (Catchy / Simple / Earworm Style)

Nothing special — and that’s the gift

Nothing missing — just this, just this

Nothing to reach, nothing to fix

Nothing special — just this, just this

Verse 2

I chased a memory of heaven

A state I thought was truth

But states are just like weather

They pass right through the roof

And now it feels so normal

So simple it feels wrong

But maybe that’s the freedom

That was here all along

Chorus

Nothing special — and that’s the gift

Nothing missing — just this, just this

Nothing to reach, nothing to fix

Nothing special — just this, just this

Bridge

Body still learns slowly

Old alarms still ring

But recognition whispers

You were never the thing

Chorus (Lift)

Nothing special — and that’s the grace

Life just showing up as face to face

No big arrival, no final twist

Nothing special — just this, just this

- just THIS!

this, this, this, this...
