Just Be Still
Date: 10/31/2002
It's not about the way you moveOr the way you make me feel
It's not about trying to hide
The trust that I could steal
I don't know what I want
But I found it there in you
And I know you found it too
And you've gone too farIt's not about the way you evoke
You don't know who you are
But I'll tell you now
You can find yourselfIf you just be still
The sunlight rests on the windowsill
Just be still...
I'll save you baby, yes I will
These emotions that I feel
It's funny how the one who hurts you
Is the only one who can heal
I don't know what I really want
But I found it there in you
And I know you found it too
But someone else had given it to you
And I've come so farI remember quiet times
But I don't know who you are
But I'll tell you now
I will try to find myselfIf we could just be still
The sunlight rests on the windowsill
Just be still...
We'll save each other, yes we will
Do you remember what it's like
Now and forever
Lying together for all time
And you've gone too far
You don't know who you are
But I'll tell you now
You can find yourselfIf you just be still
The sunlight rests on the windowsill
Just be still...
I'll save you baby, yes I will
And I've come so far
But I don't know who you are
But I'll tell you now
I will try to find myselfIf we could just be still
The sunlight rests on the windowsill
Just be still...
We'll save each other, yes we will
This song started with a cool acoustic guitar riff, played over a hip hop beat. It gave me kind of a Craig David feel to the song, and the lyrics fell into place later. I got the lyrical ideas from some of my older songs, on the surface it's a simple love song, but dig a little deeper and you might find another meaning...
