[Verse 1]
I woke up with the map half-made
Coffee gone cold on the window ledge
One small shoe by the door
One more choice than I had before
[Pre-Chorus]
If the road won’t show me all at once
I’ll take the next breath, then the next one
Hands on the wheel, I’m learning slow
One little move, and I go
[Chorus]
Step by step in the future
Step by step, I’m moving through her
Step by step in the future
I don’t need all of it now
I just need my feet on the ground
(Step by step in the future)
[Verse 2]
I keep the bills in a jar by the sink
Old doubts folded up in the pantry’s back
My name on a train ticket home
Then crossed out when I choose my own
[Pre-Chorus]
If the sky won’t hand me a sign
I’ll read the sparks in my spine
One small flame, then a little more
I know what I’m reaching for
[Chorus]
Step by step in the future
Step by step, I’m moving through her
Step by step in the future
I don’t need all of it now
I just need my feet on the ground
(Step by step in the future)
[Bridge]
Maybe it bends
Maybe it breaks
Maybe my hands shake
Still I make my way
One brave inch
One open door
I was made for this
And more
[Chorus]
Step by step in the future
Step by step, I’m moving through her
Step by step in the future
I don’t need all of it now
I just need my feet on the ground
(Step by step in the future)
