Note To Myself

[Verse 1]
Hey
Kid
You made it here
Through all the small apocalypses
And private storms
Same shoes
Different day
But you keep walking anyway
That counts for more
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to be the loudest in the room
You just have to stay
When it feels like you should move
[Chorus]
So here’s a note to myself
You’re doing better than you think you are
You’re still learning how to trust your heart
One tiny brave step at a time
Here’s a note to myself
You don’t have to race to meet some line
You’re allowed to fall apart
Then try
One tiny brave step at a time (at a time)
[Verse 2]
Call home
When you can
Say “I love you” first this time
Don’t wait till it’s late
Take breaks
Eat real food
Text back the ones who texted you
That’s how roots stay
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to have the answers when you speak
You just have to say
What you really mean
[Chorus]
So here’s a note to myself
You’re doing better than you think you are
You’re still learning how to trust your heart
One tiny brave step at a time
Here’s a note to myself
You don’t have to glow to still be bright
You’re allowed to doubt and still choose right
One tiny brave step at a time (step at a time)
[Bridge]
Write your fears down
Fold them small
Tuck them in your pocket
You can carry them
They can’t carry you
[Chorus]
Here’s a note to myself
You’re doing better than you think you are
You’re still learning how to trust your heart
One tiny brave step at a time
Here’s a note to myself
On the days you feel like you’re behind
You’re exactly where you need to find
One tiny brave step at a time (at a time)

pop, Warm indie-pop with crisp drums, clean electric guitar, and subtle synth pads. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, building into a bright, anthemic chorus with stacked harmonies and a simple, sticky top line. Mid-tempo bounce, male or female vocals with conversational phrasing that blooms into soaring long notes on the hook.
