Feel Good Again (Version 2)

New theme — learning to feel joy and gratitude again after a long stretch of just surviving, which fits nicely with the warmer, more organic live drums and piano this time.

Intro

(uh)

Yeah

Verse 1

There was a season I forgot what laughing felt like

Forgot the simple joy of a long unplanned drive

Was so busy surviving, didn't notice I stopped living

Counting all the losses, forgot about the giving

Then one regular Tuesday the sun hit just right

And something cracked open, something came back to light

Small thing, a song, a friend, a moment of plain peace

Reminded me that joy was never meant to cease

Pre-Chorus

And I didn't see it coming, didn't plan the shift

(plan the shift, plan the shift)

But gratitude came knocking like a quiet gift

(plan the shift, plan the shift)

Chorus

I forgot how good it feels to just feel good

Forgot the simple magic of being understood

By myself, by the moment, by the morning light

Learning how to love my life, learning how to feel alright

(uh, oh-oh)

I forgot how good it feels to just feel good

(uh, oh-oh)

Forgot the simple magic of being understood

Verse 2

I used to chase the big wins, the loud applause

Forgot the quiet ones, the simple kind of cause

For celebration, like a good cup of coffee

Like a friend who calls just to check in softly

Joy ain't always fireworks, sometimes it's quiet

Sometimes it's just a Tuesday that you didn't try at

Learning to find the gold in the regular days

That's the kind of wealth that never fades away

Pre-Chorus

And I didn't see it coming, didn't plan the shift

(plan the shift, plan the shift)

But gratitude came knocking like a quiet gift

(plan the shift, plan the shift)

Chorus

I forgot how good it feels to just feel good

Forgot the simple magic of being understood

By myself, by the moment, by the morning light

Learning how to love my life, learning how to feel alright

(uh, oh-oh)

I forgot how good it feels to just feel good

(uh, oh-oh)

Forgot the simple magic of being understood

Bridge

Quiet gift

(quiet gift)

Simple grace

(simple grace)

Learning joy don't need a reason

Just an open kind of space

Chorus

I forgot how good it feels to just feel good

Forgot the simple magic of being understood

By myself, by the moment, by the morning light

Learning how to love my life, learning how to feel alright

(uh, oh-oh)

I forgot how good it feels to just feel good

(uh, oh-oh)

Forgot the simple magic of being understood

Outro

(uh)

Feel alright

Yeah
