Verse 1: I turned the porch light on again after a season of letting it stay dark didn't tell nobody why just needed to see my own way back past the version of me that stopped answering past the nights I let the phone just ring Pre-chorus: Nobody claps when you come back slow nobody sees the mile it took just to open the door Chorus: I'm taking slow steps back to myself one at a time, no rush, no clock on the wall I'm not who I was before I lost her but I'm not lost no more slow steps back to myself learning that love don't leave when you finally stand up tall Verse 2: Didn't forget one single thing just because the silence moved in for a while I carry her the whole way in the way I finally learned to smile not forgetting, just returning to a life that still has my name on it Bridge: They say time heals but time don't do nothing by itself it's the choosing, every morning that brings a man back to himself Chorus (repeat): I'm taking slow steps back to myself one at a time, no rush, no clock on the wall I'm not who I was before I lost her but I'm not lost no more slow steps back to myself learning that love don't leave when you finally stand up tall Outro: Slow steps... slow steps back to myself And most important — remember, you are extraordinary.
