Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I fold the blanket
I rinse the glass
I talk to the mirror
Like a priest at mass
I forgive my failures
One by one
Then shoulder my shadow
And walk toward the sun
[Chorus]
I just do my best each day
Not holy
Not heroic
Just this way
I miss the mark
I curse
I pray
Then I wake up
And I do my best each day
[Verse 2]
I water the flowers
That I forgot last year
I answer old voices
That I still hear
I write down a promise
On a paper scrap
It trembles on the table
But I don’t take it back
[Chorus]
I just do my best each day
Not holy
Not heroic
Just this way
I miss the mark
I curse
I pray
Then I wake up
And I do my best each day
[Bridge]
Some days I’m kind
Some days I’m cruel
To the boy in my chest
To the stranger at school
But every small mercy
Keeps the darkness at bay
One quiet decision
To stay
And to stay
[Chorus]
I just do my best each day
Not holy
Not heroic
Just this way
I miss the mark
I curse
I pray
Then I wake up
And I do my best each day

Gravel-deep baritone in the Leonard Cohen vein, close-mic’d male vocals over warm nylon-string guitar and soft upright bass. Subtle brushed snare and distant organ pad swell in the chorus. Intimate verses, then a gentle lift on the hook with low harmonies and a hushed, resigned hopefulness in the final refrain., deep
