One Thing at a Time - Sunny Side Eye | Warm Indie Pop Song About Slowing Down

[Verse 1] There’s a notebook on the table With a hundred things to do Three ideas in the margin And a coffee going cold beside the view There’s a half-finished little chorus There’s a message I should send There’s a folder full of maybes And a list that doesn’t end I could open one more window I could start another line Or I could let the whole world wait And do one thing at a time [Chorus] One thing at a time One breath, one line One little piece of this life of mine One song One call One evening where I don’t need it all I don’t have to win the day I don’t have to optimize Maybe enough is beautiful One thing at a time [Verse 2] I used to think that moving faster Meant I’d finally get ahead So I filled every empty minute Till there wasn’t any empty left I made plans for being present I made lists for slowing down I turned rest into a project And somehow wore myself out Funny how the things we’re chasing Can get blurry when we run Maybe life is less about How much gets done [Chorus] One thing at a time One breath, one line One little piece of this life of mine One song One call One moment where I don’t need it all I don’t have to fill the silence I don’t have to maximize Maybe enough is beautiful One thing at a time [Bridge] Let the unfinished wait Let the inbox breathe Let tomorrow keep A little something for me Let the idea sit If it’s good, it’ll stay Let the night be night Let the day be day Maybe I don’t need A better version of me Maybe I just need To be where my feet are And maybe the next thing Doesn’t need to start Until this one Has had my heart [Soft Chorus] One thing at a time One breath, one line One small beautiful piece of this life One laugh One room One afternoon with nothing to prove I don’t have to chase the future I don’t have to organize Every second into meaning One thing at a time [Final Chorus] One thing at a time One breath, one line One little piece of this life of mine One song One love One ordinary day can be enough I don’t have to be more brilliant I don’t have to multiply Maybe enough was always waiting One thing at a time [Outro] Close the screen Put down the pen Leave a little For tomorrow There will always be Another idea And that’s okay It doesn’t need me right now
