Meet Myself Right Here

[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
