Composition and lyrics
The instrumental consists of piano, acoustic guitars and horns [5] that appear to be influenced by the music of Bon Iver and jazz. [4] [5] [6] Zach Bryan sings about looking for peaceful, quiet and solitude moments away from the outside world [1] [3] where there are other pressures he must confront, [4] describing the ideal place that is his room in the first verse: "There's guitars ringin' now from the top floor of this house / That I've learned to rest my soul inside / Be still, be quiet, this world's a giant / That I don't feel like facing tonight". He depicts himself as having a girlfriend who disapproves certain aspects of his lifestyle and hoping to improve himself in order to set a good example for their children, [5] additionally reminding himself of their responsibility to take care of their children. [7] He also apologizes to God for his shortcomings that prevent him from becoming the person he wants to be, and asks for forgiveness. [2] [8] In the final verse, Bryan recounts the events from the beginning verse but finishes in a more optimistic, auspicious tone. [5] Heaven Schmitt, leader of the New York indie band Grumpy, sings backup harmonies in the song. [3] [6]
