Calm Yourself Down

On the back half of the weekend

When the living room light pours in

I can almost slow down my breathing

Before the works starts again

Before it starts again

Again

Listen to the birds in the treetops

Past my window ledge

I don't understand the language, no

But I like the sentiment

They're singing

Calm (calm), calm yourself down (down)

Why don't you take a minute?

Let the air go in and out

Calm (calm), calm yourself down (down)

You might not take the time

If you don't start now

Oh, calm (calm), calm yourself down

I take the back gate to the garden

Past the waist-high fence

Spend an hour with the sunshine on my mind

Let the universe spin

I let the universe spin

It's singing

Calm (calm), calm yourself down (down)

Why don't you take a minute?

Let the air go in and out now (in and out)

Calm (calm), calm yourself down (down)

You might not take the time, if you don't start now

(Now singing) oh, calm (calm), calm yourself down

Down, down, down
