One More Step

Şarkı Sözleri

[Verse 1] I left the diner with the receipt in my hand A paper moon folded where the change should have been The laundromat was humming on the edge of town While every window turned its back on me again [Pre-Chorus] I know these blocks by every crack and stain Still they rearrange whenever I say your name [Chorus] I keep walking past the houses with their curtains drawn Carrying a question I can’t set down If there’s a way back, it’s buried under all this noise So I take one more step and make it mine One more step and make it mine [Verse 2] A bus rolled empty through the yellow morning fog The driver waved like he had seen me years ago I found your old blue lighter in my coat It sparked once, then gave me nothing but a stone [Pre-Chorus] The sky was low, the coffee tasted burned Some lessons stay until they’re finally learned [Chorus] I keep walking past the houses with their curtains drawn Carrying a question I can’t set down If there’s a way back, it’s buried under all this noise So I take one more step and make it mine One more step and make it mine [Bridge] Maybe being lost is not the same as gone Maybe every dead end points to something on I won’t pretend I know where this road bends But I can choose the ground beneath my feet again [Final Chorus] I keep walking past the houses with their curtains drawn The morning finds me before I turn around If there’s a way back, I’ll build it out of broken plans Take one more step and make it mine Take one more step and make it mine [Outro] The diner closes, but the street goes on I keep my hands inside my coat and carry on
