[Verse 1] The hallway clock skips a number again I count the stairs, then start over at ten Your coat is still hanging beside the front door The weather keeps changing; I can't tell what for [Pre-Chorus] If morning is somewhere behind all this gray We don't need to know how it gets here today [Chorus] Hold on to the thread we can barely see One small step is still a way through the deep When every sure thing slips out of our hands We can make a little room where the daylight lands [Verse 2] The kettle clicks off; the tea has gone cold A note on the table says, “Be brave, be bold” I fold it and keep it beside my keys Some days hope is a door that just won't quite freeze [Pre-Chorus] No map for the miles that are waiting ahead Just your steady breath and the words that we said [Chorus] Hold on to the thread we can barely see One small step is still a way through the deep When every sure thing slips out of our hands We can make a little room where the daylight lands [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] You don't have to promise the clouds will part Just stay here beside me and lend me your heart We'll name what is lost, let the unknown remain And try one more morning, then try it again [Final Chorus] Hold on to the thread we can barely see One small step is still a way through the deep When every sure thing slips out of our hands We can make a little room where the daylight lands [Outro] One more morning One more step
