[Verse 1] I keep a list of all my almosts Folded in my jacket seam Every page says, “Try again, then Be the person in your dreams” But I’m tired of being measured By a face I’ve never been So I’ll leave that list unopened Let the ordinary in [Pre-Chorus] I have dents I didn’t choose I have good I can’t explain Both are standing in my shoes Both can come along today [Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still here With my rough edges and my open hands I’m still here, I’m still here Not the perfect one I planned Let that better me keep running I don’t have to disappear I can take this life as it is I’m still here [Verse 2] There’s a cup beside the sink now With a chip beside the rim I used to hide it from the company Now I pour the coffee in I can miss the mark on Tuesday Laugh about it on the stairs I’m not waiting for permission To be glad that I am here [Bridge] Maybe I’ll grow, maybe I won’t Maybe both can still be true I can love the life I’m living While I’m reaching for what’s new [Final Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still here With my rough edges and my open hands I’m still here, I’m still here Not the perfect one I planned Let that better me keep running I don’t have to disappear I can take this life as it is I’m still here
