[Verse 1] I’ve got the list folded in my coat Every small mistake gets a louder vote I read the same line till the letters swim One loose thread and the whole thing dims [Pre-Chorus] You can feel the floor give way When you’ve carried this for days But a stumble isn’t the end It’s a place to start again [Chorus] If I mess it up, I’ll still be here With both feet down and the next step clear All this work won’t disappear I can lose my grip and still get there If the plan breaks, let it bend I can take a breath and begin again [Verse 2] The page has a crease where I pressed too hard A cold cup of tea by the backyard gate I thought one wrong turn would erase the road Then you said, “Look how far you’ve come” [Pre-Chorus] There’s no perfect way through There’s just what I choose to do And the part I couldn’t see Is I’m more than one bad scene [Chorus] If I mess it up, I’ll still be here With both feet down and the next step clear All this work won’t disappear I can lose my grip and still get there If the plan breaks, let it bend I can take a breath and begin again [Bridge] Maybe the answer comes late Maybe I change the shape The hours I put in are mine Even if I redraw the lines [Final Chorus] If I mess it up, I’ll still be here With both feet down and the next step clear All this work won’t disappear I can lose my grip and still get there If the plan breaks, let it bend I can take a breath and begin again [Outro] I can take a breath I can begin again
