One Day At A Time

[Verse 1]
Wake up
Same ceiling, same stain
Phone screen glow
Bad news again
Coffee burns
But it keeps me here
Tie my shoes
Knotting up the fear
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m late, I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m fine
Kicking at the cracks in the checkout line
Every little breath like a landmine
Still I tell myself
[Chorus]
One day at a time
I’m not okay, but I’m still in the fight
Holding this line
White knuckles on the edge of the night
If all I’ve got is this little climb
I’ll take it slow
One day at a time
[Verse 2]
Bus stop rain
Leaking down my hood
Headphones loud
Tryna drown the flood
Boss on my back
Like a second spine
Says “pick up the pace”
I just pick up my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
I break, I bend, but I don’t rewind
Talking to the doubt in the back of my mind
“If you’re still here, then you haven’t died”
So I tell myself
[Chorus]
One day at a time
I’m not okay, but I’m still in the fight
Holding this line
White knuckles on the edge of the night
If all I’ve got is this little climb
I’ll take it slow
One day at a time
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to filtered drums and synth bass]
Step by step
Breath by breath (hey!)
I’m not chasing perfect
I’m just dodging death
If I only move inches
That’s still a sign
I’m not done yet
I’m still in this life
[Chorus]
One day at a time
I’m not okay, but I’m still in the fight
Holding this line
White knuckles on the edge of the night
If all I’ve got is this little climb
I’ll take it slow
I’ll make it mine
One day at a time
