[Verse 1]
Came in late, took the yellow tape
One shoe print, one broken plate
Coffee gone cold in a paper cup
I read the room, then I read it up
Dust on the frame, blood on the tile
Missing one thing from the file
A name on the wall, smeared by a hand
I don't guess, I understand
Pocket full of notes, black glove tight
One bad move in the dead of night
Every tiny lie leaves a seam
I pull that thread, I solve that scene
[Pre-Chorus]
One by one
I line them up
Small details
Stacking up
No false lead
Can hide the sun
Slowly, slowly
I get it done
[Chorus]
One clue at a time
I’m closing that line
One clue at a time
The truth will shine
Slowly but surely
You’re running out of time
One clue at a time
I’m closing that line
[Verse 2]
Foot on the stair, ash in the sink
Red on the cuff, that’s what I think
Bus stop ticket, torn in two
Wrong alibi, bad excuse
I clock the blink, I watch the hand
Too calm when you say you weren’t there
Too smooth with the grin, too sharp with the stare
You left a trace, and I’m already there
I match the scars to the window frame
I match the fear to your fake name
Every little crack tells me where to look
Every sealed page opens in the book
[Pre-Chorus]
One by one
I line them up
Small details
Stacking up
No false lead
Can hide the sun
Slowly, slowly
I get it done
[Chorus]
One clue at a time
I’m closing that line
One clue at a time
The truth will shine
Slowly but surely
You’re running out of time
One clue at a time
I’m closing that line
[Bridge]
No grand flash, just the final fact
One torn fiber brings you back
I never chase, I let it breathe
Then I catch what you can’t leave
[Chorus]
One clue at a time
I’m closing that line
One clue at a time
The truth will shine
Slowly but surely
You’re running out of time
One clue at a time
I’m closing that line
