歌詞

Not ready

Not cool

Still standing

Still moving

I kept my words behind my teeth

Waiting for a better me

A little taller, a little sure

A little less afraid than before

But calendars don’t wait around

The sun comes up, the day goes down

And every “someday” fades away

If I don’t start with today

My hands are shaking, that’s all right

My voice might break, I’ll still try

One small step across the line

Before I change my mind

I’m almost brave

But almost is enough today

Heart on fire, knees like rain

Still I’m walking anyway

I’m almost brave

Don’t need a perfect kind of faith

If I can say one honest thing

That’s a win I get to keep

I’m almost brave

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Scared, but I go

Oh-oh, oh-oh

More than I know

Saw you standing by the gate

Had a hundred lines, threw ninety-eight away

“Hey, how are you?” simple start

Why’s a sentence hit so hard?

You turned around, I nearly ran

Then I remembered where I am

Not in a dream, not in a plan

Just real life in my own hands

My laugh comes out a little wrong

Silence lasts a little long

But you smile and ask me back

Maybe I can handle that

I’m almost brave

But almost is enough today

Heart on fire, knees like rain

Still I’m walking anyway

I’m almost brave

Don’t need a perfect kind of faith

If I can say one honest thing

That’s a win I get to keep

I’m almost brave

I used to think I had to shine

Before I stepped into the light

But even stars begin somewhere

Small and shaking in the air

So if I stumble, let me learn

If my face goes red, let it burn

I’m not fearless, I’m not there

But I showed up, and I care

I’m almost brave

And almost got me here today

Heart still loud, but I won’t hide

There’s a little more of me outside

I’m almost brave

Maybe that’s how courage starts

One unsure word, one open door

One step I couldn’t take before

I’m almost brave

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Scared, but I go

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Now I know

Not ready

Not cool

Still standing

That counts too
