Five Minutes of Courage

[Verse 1]
I woke up with you
sitting heavy on my thoughts
like you didn't want to leave—
like I talk better when I sleep

The coffee tasted bitter
the morning felt too clean
like the world had moved ahead
without waiting for me

I stood there in the doorway
keys shaking in my hand
thinking how a single step
could ruin every plan

[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how it doesn't take much—
just five minutes of courage
to burn a life you built around
never asking for more

[Chorus]
Give me five minutes of courage
I swear I'll tell the truth
I'll stop hiding in the background
of everything I lose
I’ve been strong in all the wrong ways
brave when it didn't count—
I just need five minutes of courage
to say your name out loud

[Verse 2]
I’ve been good at disappearing
smiling when I should stay quiet
letting other people talk
so I don’t have to try it

You look at me like you see
every mess I've ever been
like you’re not scared of what you'll find
if I finally let you in

There's a crack in every promise
there's a fault line in my chest
I keep telling myself
silence is what's best

[Pre-Chorus]
But silence is just fear
wearing better clothes—
and I'm tired of pretending
I don't already know

[Chorus]
Give me five minutes of courage
I swear I'll tell the truth
I'll stop hiding in the background
of everything I lose
I've been strong in all the wrong ways
brave when it didn't count—
I just need five minutes of courage
to say your name out loud

[Bridge]
If I say it
everything changes
If I don’t—
everything stays the same

I don't need a miracle
don't need saving grace—
just a moment where my hands don’t shake
and I don't run away

[Final Chorus]
Give me five minutes of courage
just a little borrowed nerve
I'm done being almost honest
done getting what I deserve
I don’t want another lifetime
wondering what I should've allowed—
I just need five minutes of courage
to say your name to say it now

[Outro]
And if I fall apart
at least I'll know—
for once I stood still
and let myself be known

There is an immediately noticeable shift in mood from the last time we checked in with S. Carey. He was heavy-hearted on 2022’s Break Me Open — crestfallen and reckoning after a big love lost. And so, Watercress sets us off with the ringing of hard-won hope. It is in fact only in the clear, shallow waters that watercress grows. And these are the very places that Sean Carey the human being returns to again and again — to fish, to reflect, and to grow. Seasons have passed and he’s spent time healing in the water, flowing and still. The pieces have been collected and reassembled. Of course, there’s always going to be a wistful quality to S. Carey’s music. But here, it’s the bright, crisp October morning kind of wistful.
