Lyrics

It’s not like me

To feel vindicated but I

Set the pace long ago

Learned my ways to get my

Simple ways Set me free

I got my brand-new wholesome life

Breath in love

I got a million more miles to go

It’s never the case 

that were both safe

Run away from all I know

Make a change to just get by

Simple ways set me free

I got my brand-new wholesome life 

Breathe in love 

I got a million more miles to go

And if my shadows came

Would you love me the same until

Break the mold of what’s been told

Cause’ Talking out loud gets old

Simple ways set me free

I got my brand-new wholesome life

Breathe in love

I got a million miles to go

Story Behind The Song

“Wholesome Life” is about rebuilding—quietly stepping out of old patterns and trying to create something more intentional, even if you’re still figuring out what that actually looks like in real time.

The song carries the feeling of wanting to reset without pretending the past didn’t happen. There’s a tension between who you were and who you’re trying to become, and the realization that change isn’t a single decision—it’s a long process of small shifts, simple choices, and repeated effort.

At its core, the “wholesome life” isn’t presented as perfection or escape, but as something more grounded: learning to move differently, breathe differently, and make space for a version of yourself that feels more steady and self-aware. The “simple ways” become less about restriction and more about freedom—finding clarity in reducing noise, expectations, and emotional weight.

There’s also an undercurrent of vulnerability in the song, especially in the question of whether you would still be accepted when you’re not at your best—when your “shadows” show up. That moment acknowledges that growth isn’t just about improvement, but about being seen fully while you’re still in progress.

The repetition of “a million more miles to go” reflects that awareness too—this isn’t a finished version of life, but a direction. A commitment to keep moving toward something more honest, even without having all the answers yet.

In that sense, “Wholesome Life” isn’t about arriving somewhere perfect. It’s about choosing to begin again, and continuing forward with intention, simplicity, and self-respect.
