Lyrics Ben Rector – Peace

Used to want people to love me so I learned how to sing
Then I thought I wanted money so I could buy nice things
But when I found it was as empty as could be
And now I’m staring at my face above a bathroom sink

Saying I want peace, it’s where I am now
It’s the only thing I haven’t found somehow
But there are other places, there are a million pretty faces
But I want peace, it’s where I am now

Used to worry about the future but the future never came
Try living in the past but never did quite feel the same
I used to think that there was a place I would rather be
That I got there enough times to realize that you are only ever here

That’s when I found peace with where I am now
It’s the only place I’ll ever be, I’ve found
And there are other places filled with a million pretty faces
But I found peace with where I am now

Through the ups and down I have figured out
You find peace where you make it, scenery won’t change it
And I wasted so much time, thinking I could ever find
Enough of anything that would bring me peace

So I found peace with who I am now
It’s the only me I’ll ever be, I’ve found
There are other places, there are a million other faces
But I found peace with who I am now
