Be Still
Canyon City Lyrics

Pack up the bags and lock the doors
Leaving behind the familiar and comfortable, closing the doors to the past.

One last look through the bed stand drawer
Reflecting on the memories and keepsakes that define the past.

For the stack of cards sent years before
Reminders of people who were once a part of our lives and left their mark.

Ghosts of slow dance turns on the old scuffed floors
Memories of happy times, shared with loved ones who are no longer present.

It comes back to things you always know
In times of change and uncertainty, memories of the familiar are comforting.

Your first lost love and your childhood home
Pivotal life experiences that shape who we are and how we view the world.

The songs on fading out radio
Remnants of the past that still have the power to transport us back in time.

While the full moon hangs in the rear view road
Symbolizes the passing of time and the fleeting nature of life.

And the signs that line the drive are just a guide through
Acknowledges that the journey through life is unpredictable and sometimes confusing.

And the place we're trying to find is just a feel
Underlines that what we seek in life cannot always be found on a map, but is an emotion or a sense of purpose.

I can tell you one thing wherever someone loves you
Love is a constant, even in the midst of change and uncertainty.

Don't look back don't worry be still
Advice to stay present and focused on the present moment rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.

Some people leave some stay
A reminder that relationships are constantly evolving and changing, and that not everyone stays in our lives forever.

Some years just feel like a few good days
Illustrates the fleeting nature of time and the brevity of life.

Like light that shines from stars long fallen
The memories we hold dear continue to shine even if the person or place associated with them is gone.

Of the memories I keep how many honest
Reflects on the accuracy and veracity of our memories, and how they shape our understanding of the past.

Like the keys you couldn't see, still hanging in the lock
Things that we overlook or take for granted can hold great significance and value.

All the things we miss and leave while caught up searching
When we are focused on the future or searching for something, it's easy to miss the beauty and value of the present moment.

Sometimes the light you need is just waiting till you stop
Growth and healing often come when we slow down and allow ourselves to be still.

To tell you just to love and be would still be worth it
Love is always worth pursuing, despite the challenges and uncertainties that come with it.
