[Verse 1] I come home with the change count low Shoes by the door, same worn-out glow Paper cups on the counter, cold Half a tank and a story untold My phone lit up, I let it fade Too many plans that never got made I been learning how to sit with the rain Let it tap on the glass, let it speak my name [Pre-Chorus] Still I rise up slow Even when I don't know What the next day holds I keep my hands on the road [Chorus] Keep it low, keep it real I don't need a show, I just feel Keep it low, keep it real I been hurt, but I heal Keep it low, keep it real Quiet nights, that's the deal Keep it low, keep it real I been hurt, but I heal [Verse 2] Mama said, "Boy, don't fold on your light" So I save what I can and I try to be right Old smoke stains on my hoodie sleeve Little red marks from the weight I leave I got friends who call when the room goes dark We trade bad news and a beat-up spark Then we laugh like the years don't bite Like the bruise on the soul ain't too hard to fight [Pre-Chorus] Still I rise up slow Even when I don't know What the next day holds I keep my hands on the road [Chorus] Keep it low, keep it real I don't need a show, I just feel Keep it low, keep it real I been hurt, but I heal Keep it low, keep it real Quiet nights, that's the deal Keep it low, keep it real I been hurt, but I heal [Bridge] If I lose my way I won't run away I let the ache pass through Then I come back new [Chorus] Keep it low, keep it real I don't need a show, I just feel Keep it low, keep it real I been hurt, but I heal Keep it low, keep it real Quiet nights, that's the deal Keep it low, keep it real I been hurt, but I heal
