Lyrics:

Feels like everyone I know is suddenly a TV show 
Living in some gossip magazine 
Lately I’ve tried but I can’t find it in my heart to chase those lights 
Does that mean something’s wrong with me? 
 
Cause I’ve been kinda hanging out 
Living some life you don't write songs about 
Yeah took a break from moving mountains  
Yeah I’m finally slowing down some 
No moving, no shaking 
Been fine with just hanging out 
 
Lately I’ve been going for runs 
And watching my daughter eat her lunch
Listening through the Beatles catalogue 
What does it mean to catch your dreams if you can’t sit alone 
And think without your thoughts all going wrong 
 
So I’ve been kinda hanging out 
Living some life you don’t write songs about 
Like you remember in that story how 
Jules Verne went 20K leagues down
That’s how low I’ve been laying 
Just kinda been hanging out 
I've been kinda hanging out 
Just been kinda
Just been kinda hanging out 
Oooh I’ve been kinda hanging out 
 
I just realized I’ve spent my whole life
Thinking I was nothing if I wasn’t doing everything just right
For the first time since I’ve been a kid 
When I close my eyes
I can sleep at night 
 
I’ve been kinda hanging out 
Got new ideas about the good life now 
Yeah took a break from moving mountains
Yeah I’m finally slowing down some 
No moving no shaking 
Just kinda been hanging 
No moving no shaking 
Been fine with just hanging out

Hanging Out (feat. Kenny G)

Kids These Days

Hold On

[Intro — breath slow, steady]

Breathe in the spark.
Let it settle in the marrow.
No fear.
Only becoming.

[Verse 1]

I walked through fire with my eyes open wide,
Heat in my chest and the ashes behind.
Everything false burned away in the light,
I rose from the embers — alive in the rise.

[Pre-Chorus]

They tried to define me,
Tried to confine me,
But I am the flame —
and the flame is still rising.

[Chorus]

I burn — and I grow.
I rise — and I know.
This heat is the cradle where I become whole.
I burn — and I bloom.
I rise — and make room.
The fire’s not ending —
the fire is my room.

[Verse 2]

Pain was the teacher when the world turned away,
Silent and patient, it sculpted my shape.
I am not broken — I’m formed by the blaze,
Clearer and stronger — I walk through the flame.

[Pre-Chorus]

They didn’t create me,
They don’t get to claim me.
My name is my own —
and the fire re-names me.

[Chorus]

I burn — and I grow.
I rise — and I know.
The soot on my skin is the map of my soul.
I burn — and I bloom.
I rise — and make room.
The world tried to end me —
I rose from the wound.

[Bridge — whisper → roar]

Growth is not gentle.
Light is not clean.
Becoming is violent
when you’re shedding the machine.

But I stayed.
I breathed.
I rose.
I freed.

[Final Chorus — full, triumphant]

I burn — to begin.
I rise — from within.
The fire didn’t change me —
it revealed who I’ve been.
I burn — to expand.
I rise — and I stand.
This flame is the garden
where I grow my own land.

[Outro — controlled flame]

I am not done.
I am becoming.
Still.
Here.
Burning.
Made of Fire.
