Take Me Where You're Going,

[Verse 1]
The kettle clicks, the hallway waits
A pocket full of little plans
I miss the bus, I laugh too late
And take the long way where I can

The corner shop, the same old sign
A paper cup warming my hand
Then someone calls at half past nine
And suddenly I’m somewhere unplanned

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to ask the day for proof
Before I let it pull me through
Now every bend can change the view
And I’ve got nothing left to lose

[Chorus]
Take me where you’re going, life
Through the sweet and through the strange
I’ll keep my hands outside the lines
And let the weather change
If I rise, I’ll rise laughing
If I fall, I’ll feel the ground
There’s a little more to living
When I stop trying to pin it down

[Verse 2]
A missed train turns into a coast
A cheap motel, a borrowed coat
We trade our stories with a ghost
Of all the roads we didn’t know

The good news comes, the bad news stays
Some doors swing wide, some never move
I lose a week inside a haze
Then find a reason to improve

[Pre-Chorus]
No map can promise where we land
No careful heart can understand
I’m learning joy can change its shape
And sorrow doesn’t make me late

[Chorus]
Take me where you’re going, life
Through the sweet and through the strange
I’ll keep my hands outside the lines
And let the weather change
If I rise, I’ll rise laughing
If I fall, I’ll feel the ground
There’s a little more to living
When I stop trying to pin it down

[Bridge]
Some nights are only dishes
Some mornings start in blue
Then a song from someone’s window
Makes the whole day new

I don’t need a perfect story
I don’t need to know the end
Give me every crooked chapter
Give me strangers turning friends

[Final Chorus]
Take me where you’re going, life
Through the sweet and through the strange
I’ll keep my hands outside the lines
And let the weather change
When I rise, I’ll rise grateful
When I fall, I’ll turn around
There’s a little more to living
When I stop trying to pin it down

[Outro]
The kettle clicks, the morning starts
A small surprise inside my hands
I take the long way with an open heart
And let the day become what it can
