Duration: P00H04M24S
Description: This is a cover of an unreleased song by The Avett Brothers. We love the words and the message of this song. We have found that in being isolated and stripped of a lot of our typical day-to-day hustle and bustle, worries and "have to's" that we have been able to more clearly focus on what is important (to us).

lyrics

Lyrics:

I don’t need another collar
I don’t need another hat
I don’t need to leave the small town
Don’t matter where I’m at

‘Cause I’m happy being me the most
When I let what makes me happy go
And I finally learn what I need to know
I am happier with nothing
I am happier with nothing
I am happier with nothing

I don’t need you to come back to me
I don’t need another memory
I don’t need to make the world see that I’m not crazy

I don’t need to join in their games
I don’t need to fight to stake my claim
I don’t need to the world to know my name
It never mattered if they did

‘Cause I’m happy being me the most
When I let what makes me happy go
And I finally learn what I need to know
I am happier with nothing
I am happier with nothing
I am happier with nothing

And I’m always home
And I’m always yours
I’ll be alright with or without
The things that I’ve been searching for
Baby I’m not searching anymore

I don’t need to be told what to do
I don’t need to be assured by you
I don’t need to pay the credit due
Na, there is none

I don’t need you to come back to me
I don’t need another memory
I don’t need to make the world see that I’m not crazy

‘Cause I’m happy being me the most
When I let what makes me happy go
And I finally learn what I need to know
I am happier with nothing
I am happier with nothing
I am happier with nothing…..
