[Verse 1] I keep a list of all my almosts Folded small beside the bed Every morning wears their faces Every plan I never had [Pre-Chorus] They walk ahead, so clean and bright I chase them till I lose my sight [Chorus] I am not the one I might have been I am this hand, this heart, this skin All my crooked parts come in I let them sit beside me Life keeps opening its door I don’t need to win that race The better me can run ahead I’ll meet myself right here [Verse 2] There’s a chipped cup by the window There’s a bill I meant to pay There’s a laugh that comes out crooked And I’m keeping it today [Pre-Chorus] That perfect shadow knows my name But I don’t owe it every day [Chorus] I am not the one I might have been I am this hand, this heart, this skin All my crooked parts come in I let them sit beside me Life keeps opening its door I don’t need to win that race The better me can run ahead I’ll meet myself right here [Bridge] Let the unfinished morning find me Let the wrong turn have its view I can carry what I’m made of And still make something new [Final Chorus] I am not the one I might have been I am this hand, this heart, this skin All my crooked parts come in I let them sit beside me Life keeps opening its door I don’t need to win that race The better me can run ahead I’ll meet myself right here [Outro] I’ll meet myself right here
