Take The Whole Of Me

[Verse 1]
I used to hide the cracks in every photograph
And measure every word before I let it pass
But all these crooked edges carried me this far
I’m learning how to meet myself exactly where we are

[Pre-Chorus]
No need to sand me down
No need to turn around

[Chorus]
I take the whole of me, the rough and tender parts
I let the old mistakes become a map, not marks
I’m walking toward the day with open hands and eyes
I take the whole of me—and let tomorrow rise

[Verse 2]
Some mornings I still stumble over what I can’t undo
I leave a little room for all the ways I’m still brand new
The plans I drew in pencil can be redrawn as I go
There’s more ahead than all the things I used to know

[Bridge]
Every scar has something true to say
I can listen, then keep moving anyway

[Chorus]
I take the whole of me, the rough and tender parts
I let the old mistakes become a map, not marks
I’m walking toward the day with open hands and eyes
I take the whole of me—and let tomorrow rise

[Outro]
Let tomorrow rise
