Hmm, so look at this
Woke up to the same old stream
Scrolling through the endless scenes
Detecting Instagram, they all cling
But it's just a perfect dream
Pictures of lives I'll never leave
Moments of joy, a life I need
Feels like I'm lost in someone's feet
Chasing shadows, planting seeds
Put down the phone, open my eyes
There's beauty here and simple skies
The laughter near, the love that lies
Right here in front of me
The coffee's warm, the sun's first light
Conversations late at night
Friends who stay and make it right
In these moments I take flight
Not everything is what it seems
Behind the filters, hidden screens
In the world I find the themes
Of happiness and little dreams
Put down the phone, open my eyes
There's beauty here and simple skies
Put down the phone, open my eyes
There's beauty here and simple skies
Put down the phone, open my eyes


Not everything is what it seems
Behind the filters, hidden screens
In the world I find the themes
Of happiness and little dreams
On the phone, the sun's first light Conversations late at night
Ventures, they will make it right In these moments, I take flight
Not everything is what it seems Behind the filters, hidden screens
In my world, I find the themes Of happiness and little dreams
Put down the phone, open my eyes There's beauty here in simple skies
The laughter near the love that lies Right here in front of me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Life's not perfect, nor pristine
But in the thoughts there's something
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Life's not perfect, nor pristine
The deeper love, the clearer machine In everyday wondrous scene
Put down the phone, open my eyes There's beauty here in simple skies
The laughter near, the love that lies Right here in front of me
So here I stand, just let it be In my own world, I'm finally free
The life I live, it's enough for me I found my own serenity
