Lyrics

Alarm on snooze again
Daylight sneaks under the blinds
Coffee's gone cold on the counter
I'm still stuck in my mind
Shoes by the door untouched
Jacket hanging like a sign
Every plan feels a little too loud
For this quiet state of mine
Everyone's racing the red lights
I'm tying both of my shoes
Checking the mirror for answers
Like it's got something to prove
It's a slow start
But I'm moving
Little heartbeat
Still improving
I'm late to my life
But I'm showing up
If it takes all day
I'll still call that enough
Slow start
But I'm starting
Unread texts in a row
Blue dots waiting for me
I rehearse every word in the shower
Till the water runs empty
Street's already wide awake
Buses breathing out smoke
I take one step into the morning
Like it's something I wrote
Calendar packed with distractions
I circle one thing in blue
Just to breathe for a minute
Just to feel something true
It's a slow start
But I'm moving
Every doubt
Still loosening
I'm late to my life
But I'm showing up
If it takes all day
I'll still call that enough
Slow start
But I'm starting
So what if I stumble in
So what if I'm not on time
I don't need to match their minutes
To know this life is mine
Every shaky step I'm taking
Is a line across the dark
I'm not where I thought I'd be
But I'm closer than the start
It's a slow start
Still breathing
Still learning
Still choosing
I'm late to my life
But I'm showing up
If it takes all day
I'll still call that enough
Slow start
Yeah, I'm starting
