[Verse 1]
Coffee on the windowsill, notes across the floor
I count the credits one by one, then reach for one more
My backpack's full of paperbacks, my shoes are wearing thin
But every page I finish says I'm closer than I've been
[Pre-Chorus]
I can see a little room with a key that's mine
A desk beside the window where the good ideas arrive
[Chorus]
I'll get through this semester, I'll make it to the other side
Turn these borrowed hours into a life I chose to write
A little place, a quiet lamp, a cat curled by my chair
And a story with my name on it, waiting for me there
I'll get through, I'll get through
The dream is still in view
[Verse 2]
Late train, library, blue ink underneath my hand
I trade a Friday night for one more paragraph planned
The bills can wait for payday, the laundry can wait too
I've got a map inside my head, and every road leads through
[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear the front door close on a place that's mine
A sleepy purr beside me while I finish one more line
[Chorus]
I'll get through this semester, I'll make it to the other side
Turn these borrowed hours into a life I chose to write
A little place, a quiet lamp, a cat curled by my chair
And a story with my name on it, waiting for me there
I'll get through, I'll get through
The dream is still in view
[Bridge]
If I miss a step, I won't call it the end
I'll revise the plan and start again
Every hard-earned morning, every small breakthrough
Builds the life I've been working toward, one honest day at a time
[Final Chorus]
I'll get through this semester, I'll make it to the other side
Turn these borrowed hours into a life I chose to write
A little place, a quiet lamp, a cat curled by my chair
And a story with my name on it, waiting for me there
I'll get through, I'll get through
With a whole sky coming through
I'll get through, I'll get through
The dream is coming true
[Outro]
One more page, one more day
I'm on my way
