Lyric sheet
[Verse 1] I taped my name above a borrowed door One mug, two plates, a suitcase on the floor The corner store knows me by day three And the bus driver waits a second when I run to the street [Pre-Chorus] I don't know every answer yet But I know where the morning gets And that's enough to take one step [Chorus] I'm starting again, one small thing at a time A key in the lock, a new view from the blinds I may not have it all figured out by then But I can make a life here I'm starting again [Verse 2] There's a bakery opening at half past six I buy a warm roll and learn the owner's kid's name is Vic A woman upstairs leaves basil by my door Says, "Take what you need, there's plenty more" [Pre-Chorus] I still miss the rooms I knew The old familiar point of view But missing them won't stop the new [Chorus] I'm starting again, one small thing at a time A key in the lock, a new view from the blinds I may not have it all figured out by then But I can make a life here I'm starting again [Bridge] If tomorrow feels too wide I'll walk the block and let it decide No grand arrival, no finish line Just my two feet keeping time [Final Chorus] I'm starting again, one small thing at a time A name in the hall, a friend asking me inside I may not have it all figured out by then But I can make a life here I can make a life here I'm starting again [Outro] One small thing at a time I'm starting again
