[Verse 1] The hallway clock skips every seventh beat I count the cracks that run beneath my feet The map is wet, the ink has left the page I hold your name like a match against the gray [Pre-Chorus] If morning takes the longer road If every sign says turn around I’ll keep one hand upon your sleeve And trust the ground we haven’t found [Chorus] When the dark won’t tell us where to go There’s a small, stubborn light we know Not a promise, not a perfect sky Just your hand finding mine nearby When the next step disappears from view I can still take one with you [Verse 2] The kettle clicks in our borrowed room Rain writes its questions on the window soon You draw a doorway on the folded bill And somehow, for a breath, the world is still [Pre-Chorus] If morning takes the longer road If every sign says turn around I’ll keep one hand upon your sleeve And trust the ground we haven’t found [Chorus] When the dark won’t tell us where to go There’s a small, stubborn light we know Not a promise, not a perfect sky Just your hand finding mine nearby When the next step disappears from view I can still take one with you [Bridge] No grand answer, no sure way through Only this breath, and the truth of you The clouds can keep their heavy crown We’ll make a little shelter now [Final Chorus] When the dark won’t tell us where to go There’s a small, stubborn light we know Not a promise, not a perfect sky Just your hand finding mine nearby When the next step disappears from view I can still take one with you Yes, I can still take one with you [Outro] One more step, one more day We don’t need to see the way
