Still Choosing the Day

[Verse 1]
I kept the receipts in a shoebox drawer
Every wrong turn, every slammed door
The little choices I swore I’d outgrow
Still leave their fingerprints where I go

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can name what I did
Without letting it name me

[Chorus]
I’m still here, still choosing the day
Still making a life that is mine
I won’t call the wreckage a reason to stay
I can carry the past and still cross that line
I’m still here, with my hands on the wheel
I can learn from the miles I have driven
The road’s full of marks, but it doesn’t decide
I’m still here, and I’m still alive

[Verse 2]
There’s a cracked blue mug by the kitchen sink
A list of promises I forgot to think
I’ve made bad calls, I’ve let good days pass
But I’m not the sum of the worst of the past

[Pre-Chorus]
I can own what I did
And still make a new choice

[Chorus]
I’m still here, still choosing the day
Still making a life that is mine
I won’t call the wreckage a reason to stay
I can carry the past and still cross that line
I’m still here, with my hands on the wheel
I can learn from the miles I have driven
The road’s full of marks, but it doesn’t decide
I’m still here, and I’m still alive

[Bridge]
Let the old mistakes keep their place in the dust
I don’t have to worship them, I don’t have to trust
Every next step is a door I can choose
I can leave what I was and still know what is true

[Final Chorus]
I’m still here, still choosing the day
Still making a life that is mine
I won’t call the wreckage a reason to stay
I can carry the past and still cross that line
I’m still here, with my hands on the wheel
I can learn from the miles I have driven
The road’s full of marks, but it doesn’t decide
I’m still here, and I’m still alive

[Outro]
Still choosing the day
Still making a life
