歌詞

Morning comes through the blinds

Kettle sings on the stove

You tie your shoes by the door

I watch your quiet glow

Same old bus, same old streets

Still we start it fresh

You say, “Let’s take it slow”

And I believe the best

We carry the cracks

We carry the rain

Still we get up

And try again

One small step

Then another one

Even when the day

Has just begun

Hold on, hold on

We can still heal

Hold on, hold on

This is real

Step by step

We learn to breathe

Hold on, hold on

You and me

By noon the phones won’t stop

The boss wants one more thing

Boxes by the loading dock

And a ring from your keychain

You text me, “Long day”

I text back, “Same here”

We laugh at the little mess

Then clear it, clear it, clear

Hands get tired

Eyes run dry

Still we make room

For a softer life

Trade the rush

For a steady pace

Find a little peace

Inside the race

Hold on, hold on

We can still heal

Hold on, hold on

This is real

Step by step

We learn to breathe

Hold on, hold on

You and me

Evening paints the porch

On the old front step

You bring out cut fruit

And the words we almost kept

Kids on the corner shout

Older ones nod and smile

Every window holds

A different kind of mile

Some just began

Some made it through

Every age in town

Still reaches for the view

Young and worn

New and scarred

Same small hope

In every heart

When the day leans low

And the shadows stay

We light one lamp

And find our way

Hold on, hold on

We can still heal

Hold on, hold on

This is real

Step by step

We learn to breathe

Hold on, hold on

You and me

On a holiday road

With the windows down

Or a usual day

In a borrowed town

I know caution well

I know the price

Still I choose your hand

And I choose this life

Not perfect lines

Not painted gold

Just two warm voices

Getting bold

Breathe in

Breathe out

Stay here

Right now

Breathe in

Breathe out

We’re here

Somehow

Hold on, hold on

We can still heal

Hold on, hold on

This is real

Step by step

We learn to breathe

Hold on, hold on

You and me

Hold on, hold on

Morning or night

Hold on, hold on

We’ll be all right

Step by step

We learn to breathe

Hold on, hold on

You and me

Usual day

Holiday

Morning breaks

Then fades away

But here we are

Still hand in hand

Turning hurt

To something grand
