Story Behind the Song
Written in the midst of chaos, a rare glimpse at the joys of simplicity and innocence.
Lyrics
I don’t have anywhere to go right now
The whole wide world is my playground
But I’m just sitting here writing this song
Not thinking about what’s gone wrong
Everything feels just right
Or at least I’m going to pretend tonight
That life is grand, smooth and sweet
And that I can keep my head above my feet
It’s peaceful, so peaceful, yeah
I’m peaceful, so peaceful, yeah
I’m going to resist the urge to complicate my life more than it needs
I’ve spent too many years frustrating myself ’til I fall to my knees
It’s peaceful, so peaceful, yeah
I’m peaceful, so peaceful, yeah
Nothing could get me down today
Or at least it feels that way
So, I’ll turn a blind eye to the world
And reclaim the innocence I lost as a girl
It’s peaceful, so peaceful, yeah
I’m peaceful, so peaceful, yeah
I’m going to resist the urge to complicate my life more than it needs
I’ve spent too many years frustrating myself ’til I fall to my knees
It’s peaceful
So peaceful
I’m peaceful
so peaceful
