The Small Thing Is Enough

[Verse 1]
I count the doors I never opened
By the paint beneath my hands
Keep a map inside my pocket
Of a place I never planned

Every answer grows a question
Every yes leaves something out
I can name the shape of wanting
I just can't name what it's about

[Pre-Chorus]
If I stop, will I disappear?
If I stay, will I become clear?

[Chorus]
I am more than the measure
More than the mark on the wall
Still I carry every number
Like a verdict when I fall

Tell me, what am I defending?
Who am I trying to impress?
I keep building up the ceiling
Then I blame the room for less

[Verse 2]
There’s a receipt inside my jacket
For a promise I returned
I remember all the reasons
And the lesson never learned

Friends can hear it in my laughter
When the room begins to thin
I say everything is golden
While the doubt keeps getting in

[Pre-Chorus]
If I stop, will I disappear?
If I stay, will I become clear?

[Chorus]
I am more than the measure
More than the mark on the wall
Still I carry every number
Like a verdict when I fall

Tell me, what am I defending?
Who am I trying to impress?
I keep building up the ceiling
Then I blame the room for less

[Bridge]
Put the ledger on the table
Let the red ink run
I was never made of outcomes
I was made of what I’ve done

One breath, then another
No bargain, no disguise
There is nothing left to conquer
When I finally meet my eyes

[Final Chorus]
I am more than the measure
More than the mark on the wall
I can carry all the fractures
And still answer when they call

Tell me, what am I defending?
I can loosen my grip tonight
Let the unfinished stay unfinished
Let the small thing be enough this time

[Outro]
This time
The small thing is enough
This time
I am here
