[Verse 1] I found a page in the back of a drawer A little blue map with a door I’d ignored You said, “Take the long way, see where it goes” So I traded my shoes for a boat made of notes [Pre-Chorus] Every wrong turn had a window to see A room full of colors I’d never let in [Chorus] Try one more way, let the old plan bend A borrowed brush, a new kind of friend If the shape feels strange, let it lead you through There’s a wider world waiting outside what you knew [Verse 2] I learned to make prints from a leaf and a spoon Mixed clay with the dust of a half-finished room You laughed when the first little tower came down Then we built it again with the scraps we had found [Pre-Chorus] Every new tool leaves a mark of its own A voice you can hear when you work on your own [Chorus] Try one more way, let the old plan bend A borrowed brush, a new kind of friend If the shape feels strange, let it lead you through There’s a wider world waiting outside what you knew [Bridge] Maybe the answer was never a door Maybe it’s making a door in the wall Maybe the thing you were reaching to find Was waiting in what you left behind [Final Chorus] Try one more way, let the old plan bend A borrowed brush, a new kind of friend If the shape feels strange, let it lead you through There’s a wider world waiting outside what you knew [Outro] Leave room on the table Leave space in the day There’s more than one way To make something new
