[Verse 1] I packed the hurt in a cardboard box Set it by the door Same old floor, same old cracks I don't live there anymore The cup is chipped, the plate is clean The house still knows my name But I looked my fear in the eye And I won't stay the same [Pre-Chorus] Let the dust come down Let the old me sleep I'm not running now I'm learning how to breathe [Chorus] I get a second first step A brand new start I get a second first step With a steady heart If the road bends back I bend with it too Second first step I'm coming through [Verse 2] I washed my hands in the sink at dawn Watched the water turn clear Every little thing I thought I lost Still shows up when I'm here I called my lover on the line Said, "I made it to today" She said, "Baby, keep that flame alive And let it light your way" [Pre-Chorus] Let the dust come down Let the old me sleep I'm not running now I'm learning how to breathe [Chorus] I get a second first step A brand new start I get a second first step With a steady heart If the road bends back I bend with it too Second first step I'm coming through [Bridge] I used to pray for a sign Now I am the sign One scar, one song, one scarred-up soul Still dancing into line [Chorus] I get a second first step A brand new start I get a second first step With a steady heart If the road bends back I bend with it too Second first step I'm coming through
