[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
You check the price tag before the sky,
New coat shining as the clouds roll by.
You count your change, count every win,
Miss the warm bread cooling on the sill.
Your little girl draws a crooked sun,
You say “not now,” though the day’s begun.
She leaves a yellow crayon by your shoe—
There’s a whole bright world waiting for you.
[Chorus]
Look down, look close, it’s already here,
The small good things we forget to hear.
A hand held tight, a kettle’s song,
The world is beautiful all along.
Look down, look close, let the hurry pass—
A drop of rain on a blade of grass.
You can’t take the shine of a life well spent,
But you can miss the moment while chasing it.
[Verse 2]
You buy another screen to fill the room,
While Mum’s old roses start to bloom.
The bus stop man knows everyone’s name,
He saves you a seat when the weather turns gray.
A kid kicks leaves along the kerb,
Laughing loud as the pigeons swerve.
You’re scrolling past the afternoon—
The light on your sleeve is gold at noon.
[Chorus]
Look down, look close, it’s already here,
The small good things we forget to hear.
A hand held tight, a kettle’s song,
The world is beautiful all along.
Look down, look close, let the hurry pass—
A drop of rain on a blade of grass.
You can’t take the shine of a life well spent,
But you can miss the moment while chasing it.
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Leave the phone face down tonight,
Watch the steam curl, watch the window brighten.
Call your brother, take the long way home,
The best things never come with a barcode.
[Final Chorus]
Look down, look close, it’s already here,
The small good things we forget to hear.
A hand held tight, a kettle’s song,
The world is beautiful all along.
Look down, look close, let the hurry pass—
A drop of rain on a blade of grass.
You can’t take the shine of a life well spent,
So don’t miss the moment while chasing it.
