Peace of Mind

Liner Notes
The "other" Phil in my band suggested a line that might be a song... It was a song! I stated writing it out last night then slept on it. This morning, after my Shredded Mini Wheats, this came out. One take guitar and vocals, I added the harmonica. #acousticonetake #guywithguitar #acoustic #singersongwriter #folk #harmonica
Lyrics
Late bills on the counter Voicemails I haven't played Used to let them own me And now they're part of my day Coffee in my favorite cup Sun sneaking through the blind Nothing's ever perfect But this hits me just fine
I'm well on the way to peace of mind One slow breath at a time I don't got it all But I guess I'm alright Letting the negatives fall behind I'm well on the way to peace of mind
Answered my own phone call Spoke to my mirror last night And told that tired stranger You don't have to get it right Old fears in a shoebox Taped up and set aside I can still hear them rustle But they've shut up over time
I'm well on the way to peace of mind One slow breath at a time I don't got it all But I guess I'm alright Letting the negatives fall behind I'm well on the way to peace of mind
Little by little I loosen my fist Let the day be simple, let chaos exist
I'm well on the way to peace of mind One slow breath at a time I don't doubt at all But I guess I'm alright Letting the negatives fall behind I'm well on the way to peace of mind I'm well on the way to peace of mind
