Single Step, Endless Road

[Verse 1]
Old shoes by the front door
Maps pinned up for years
Plans I drew in endless ink
Smudged by doubt and fear
Clock hands drag in circles
Phone lights up and fades
I tell everyone "I'm ready"
But I never leave the gate
[Chorus]
One step
On a cold
Cracked floor
One breath
Like I've been here before
The road keeps hiding
Till my heel lifts off the ground
Single step
Endless road
And it all starts
Now
[Verse 2]
Friends post distant sunsets
I save them in a file
Say "someday" in every sentence
Stacking miles on a pile
Suitcase in the corner
Still tasting factory air
Ticket on the table
Daring me to care
[Chorus]
One step
On a cold
Cracked floor
One breath
Like I've been here before
The road keeps hiding
Till my heel lifts off the ground
Single step
Endless road
And it all starts
Now
[Bridge]
Not a movie
Not a moment
Just my hand on the door (oh)
All the futures I kept folded
Spilling out on the floor
I don't need to see the ending
Just the space right ahead
So I lean into the tipping
Let my heart write the rest
[Chorus]
One step
On a cold
Cracked floor
One breath
Like I've been here before
The road keeps shining
As my feet keep tracing doubt
Single step
Endless road
And it all starts
Now (yeah)
It all starts
Now

Warm acoustic pop with intimate male vocals, close-mic guitar and gentle shuffle percussion; verses stay soft and conversational, then chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, subtle piano doubles, and a steady low-end pulse that feels like forward motion
