Lyric

Took a quiet drive this morning

Just the ocean and the breeze

Stopped beside a little café

For a coffee by the sea

Took a photo of my breakfast

Posted it with just a smile

"Best little meal I've had in ages"

Three small likes after a while

One was from an old friend

One I'm not quite sure about

And one, I have to tell you

Well... I probably helped it out

I'm not trying to show off

I'm not asking for a crowd

I just have a little story

Somebody hear me out

Somebody hear me out

It's really nothing big or grand

Maybe that little bowl of seafood

Was the finest in the land

Maybe it was just the sunshine

Maybe just a cup of coffee

Sometimes all it takes is something small

To make an afternoon feel lovely

I used to have someone beside me

To tell these little stories to

Now I tell them to my phone

And somehow... that will do

At noon I found a trendy place

With a line around the block

I ordered the biggest bowl of ramen

Just to see what I had got

Took a picture, sent it out

"Way too much!" I wrote with a grin

I couldn't finish half the bowl

But tomorrow I'll try again

The waiter smiled and asked me

"Was everything alright?"

I said, "Oh yes, it was delicious"

Then went home before the night

It's not a grand adventure

It's not a story for the news

But when you've got a quiet afternoon

You take what you can use

Somebody hear me out

It's really nothing big or grand

Maybe ramen beats the udon

Maybe soba was the better plan

Maybe none of that matters

Maybe that's the point somehow

A little story, a little smile

A little someone listening now

As long as I have something to say

I guess I'm doing pretty well

Even if I'm talking to my phone

There's still a story I can tell

When the working days were over

I thought I'd finally take it slow

Funny how a quiet morning

Can make the hours move so slow

No boss calling

No train to catch

No reason to hurry anymore

So I watch the little waves roll in

And check my phone once more

Maybe that's the funny thing

About getting older day by day

You don't need a room full of people

Just somebody who might stay

Somebody hear me out

It's really nothing big or grand

I don't need a standing ovation

I don't need a helping hand

Just a little warmth

To brighten up the day

A little sign that someone out there

Stopped by along the way

So I'll keep posting every afternoon

A picture, a thought, a view

Maybe someone will leave a little heart

Maybe someone will say, "Me too"

The ocean keeps on moving

The coffee's getting cold

I check my phone one more time

One little like

Maybe two

Even just one little like

Means the world to me
