[Intro]

(acoustic + light electric, steady beat builds)

I ain’t got it all figured out

⸻

[Verse 1]

Grew up thinking there’d be a moment
Where it all would make sense
Like one day I’d wake up knowing
Where it’s going, where it ends

But it don’t work like they tell you
There ain’t no clear-cut plan
Just a lot of second guessing
Trying to be a better man

Bills come in, time moves faster
People change, nothing stays
Some nights feel like I’m moving forward
Some feel like I’m stuck in place

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

But I ain’t where I was before
And that’s enough for now

⸻

[Chorus — grounded hook]

This is where I stand
Not everything I planned

But I’m still holding on
Doing the best I can

Ain’t got all the answers
Still learning who I am

But I’m a little further on
Than where I began

This is where I stand

⸻

[Verse 2]

Seen friends take different roads
Some made it, some fell off
Some found something worth holding
Some lost more than they got

I’ve had days I felt like quitting
Like I’m running out of time
Then I look at where I started
And I know I’m doing alright

It ain’t perfect, never will be
But I’m still showing up
Even when it feels like everything
Is pushing me to give up

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

And I might not have it all
But I ain’t backing down

⸻

[Chorus]

This is where I stand
Not everything I planned

But I’m still holding on
Doing the best I can

Ain’t got all the answers
Still learning who I am

But I’m a little further on
Than where I began

This is where I stand

⸻

[Bridge — honest moment]

(groove strips slightly)

No map, no guarantee
Just a road in front of me

And I’m walking it
One step at a time

⸻

[Final Chorus — lift]

This is where I stand
Not everything I planned

But I’m still holding on
Doing the best I can

Ain’t got all the answers
Still learning who I am

But I’m a little further on
Than where I began

This is where I stand

⸻

[Outro]

(acoustic resolves, clean finish)
