One More Step

[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
