Northernly · I'm Alright · Track 9

Then YouE

A song about the ambush of good news — being fine, on purpose, alone, until someone walks in and quietly ruins the routine you built to survive.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
I was just living, healing
Moving my mind on the future
Heart stayed calm
Days on repeat
Nothing felt new
Doing just fine

Then you

[Verse 1]
Head down, staying in my lane
Work through nights, let go of the pain
No big plans, no second guess
Life felt light, nothing to stress

Routine set, steady pace
Same old days, familiar place
Wasn't looking, wasn't ready
Everything normal, everything steady

[Chorus]
I was just living, healing
Moving my mind on the future
Heart stayed calm
Days on repeat
Nothing felt new
Doing just fine

Then you

[Verse 2]
I had gotten good at being alone
Leaving my keys and my shoes by the door
Sleeping at night, waking up late
Not giving a shit who stayed or who changed

I quit looking for something to prove
Quit making plans I could easily lose
Nothing was wrong
Nothing was new
I was doing fine

Then you

[Chorus]
I was just living, healing
Moving my mind on the future
Heart stayed calm
Days on repeat
Nothing felt new
Doing just fine

Then you

[Verse 3]
Now I'm smoking cigarettes
Just to watch the embers burn
Laughing louder than I should
Taking every fucking turn

I forgot how good it feels
To be bad at standing still
I was doing fine

Then you

[Bridge]
I don't know what to call this
So I won't

I don't know where it's going
Probably don't

I had everything in order
More or less

Then you

[Final Chorus]
I was just living, healing
Moving my mind on the future
Heart stayed calm
Days on repeat
Nothing felt new
Doing just fine

Then you
