[Intro] Again [Verse 1] Move it a fraction Take it from the top There's something in the timing Almost Not quite I know when a line sits properly I know when the edges meet I know the difference Nobody else can hear Between finished And complete [Pre-Chorus] And I love making something beautiful I love getting something right But somewhere in the polishing I stopped knowing when to leave it [Chorus] One more time One more take One more thing I could make A little cleaner A little closer A little harder to mistake I can find the smallest flaw In everything I do And somehow every tiny thing Starts saying something about me too [Verse 2] They said it worked I heard the breath They said it's done I saw what's left They saw the whole I found the corner That nobody would ever check I can turn good into better I can turn better into best I just never learned the difference Between improving something And never letting it rest [Pre-Chorus] So fix the line Retake the phrase Move the thing Nobody sees If there is nothing left to correct What happens to me? [Chorus] One more time One more take One more thing I could make A little cleaner A little closer A little harder to mistake I can find the smallest flaw In everything I do And somehow every tiny thing Starts saying something about me too [Bridge] What if the note can break? What if the line can move? What if something can be human And still be beautiful too? What if I leave the smallest flaw And nobody turns away? What if I know I could correct it And choose to let it stay? [Final Chorus] I still want to make things beautiful I still care about the craft I don't need to lose the part of me That notices what others pass But everything I make Doesn't have to prove That I deserve to be here too Maybe finished can be human Maybe human can be true [Outro] Again No Leave it
