[Verse 1] The kettle clicks, the hallway waits A pocket full of little plans I miss the bus, I laugh too late And take the long way where I can The corner shop, the same old sign A paper cup warming my hand Then someone calls at half past nine And suddenly I’m somewhere unplanned [Pre-Chorus] I used to ask the day for proof Before I let it pull me through Now every bend can change the view And I’ve got nothing left to lose [Chorus] Take me where you’re going, life Through the sweet and through the strange I’ll keep my hands outside the lines And let the weather change If I rise, I’ll rise laughing If I fall, I’ll feel the ground There’s a little more to living When I stop trying to pin it down [Verse 2] A missed train turns into a coast A cheap motel, a borrowed coat We trade our stories with a ghost Of all the roads we didn’t know The good news comes, the bad news stays Some doors swing wide, some never move I lose a week inside a haze Then find a reason to improve [Pre-Chorus] No map can promise where we land No careful heart can understand I’m learning joy can change its shape And sorrow doesn’t make me late [Chorus] Take me where you’re going, life Through the sweet and through the strange I’ll keep my hands outside the lines And let the weather change If I rise, I’ll rise laughing If I fall, I’ll feel the ground There’s a little more to living When I stop trying to pin it down [Bridge] Some nights are only dishes Some mornings start in blue Then a song from someone’s window Makes the whole day new I don’t need a perfect story I don’t need to know the end Give me every crooked chapter Give me strangers turning friends [Final Chorus] Take me where you’re going, life Through the sweet and through the strange I’ll keep my hands outside the lines And let the weather change When I rise, I’ll rise grateful When I fall, I’ll turn around There’s a little more to living When I stop trying to pin it down [Outro] The kettle clicks, the morning starts A small surprise inside my hands I take the long way with an open heart And let the day become what it can
