Exactly Like This

[Verse 1]
I woke with the whole day waiting
No script folded in my hand
The mirror held a changing face
And I decided I could stand

Every scar has kept its promise
Every wrong turn left a mark
I don't need to solve tomorrow
To be present in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the unfinished stay unfinished
Let the moment take its shape
I am more than any measure
I am here, and I am awake

[Chorus]
I am the best me that will ever exist
Not a copy, not a target to hit
Every breath is a world I can enter
Every second remembers I'm here

I am the best me that will ever exist
With the whole of my heart in the midst
If the future keeps moving, let it
I will meet it exactly like this

[Verse 2]
I have carried borrowed standards
Like a coat I couldn't lose
Now I leave them by the doorway
There is nothing left to prove

Feel the heat inside the instant
Taste the rain before it falls
Even quiet has a heartbeat
Even small can hold it all

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the unfinished stay unfinished
Let the moment take its shape
I am more than any measure
I am here, and I am awake

[Chorus]
I am the best me that will ever exist
Not a copy, not a target to hit
Every breath is a world I can enter
Every second remembers I'm here

I am the best me that will ever exist
With the whole of my heart in the midst
If the future keeps moving, let it
I will meet it exactly like this

[Bridge]
No perfect version waits beyond me
No final door will make me whole
I can hold the fear beside me
I can give the present soul

Take the joy before it changes
Take the hand before it goes
What I am is not a finish
It is everything that grows

[Final Chorus]
I am the best me that will ever exist
Every fracture still belongs in the mix
Every breath is a world I can enter
Every second remembers I'm here

I am the best me that will ever exist
I arrive with my life in my fists
Let the future keep moving toward me
I will meet it exactly like this

[Outro]
Exactly like this
Alive in the instant
Exactly like this
The best me that exists
