[Intro – bright keys, light bounce, claps]
(hey—!)
Wouldn’t you say…
(we’re not done yet…)
(smile, we’re still becoming…)
Coming (coming) coming on
[Verse 1 – upbeat, playful groove]
Woke up laughing at the lines I haven’t drawn
Every little “wrong turn” keeps me moving on
Stitches in the fabric, colors running wild
I’m a masterpiece that’s learning like a child
Used to chase perfection like a finish line
Now I dance in all the spaces in between the signs
Every little crack lets a little sunshine through
Turns out the broken parts are beautiful, too
[Pre-Chorus – lift, handclaps]
If it’s not complete—good!
That means I’m alive
Every missing piece
Keeps the spark inside
[Refrain – joyful, bouncy, full band]
Though my heart
(Is incomplete)
From the start
(Took the front-seat)
Every day (along the way)
Till the day I die
(Gonna try, try, try)
From the heart…
Till I depart
Sorry, I digress
(… I guess…)
I’m in love with this—
Work in progress!
[Verse 2 – fuller, energetic rhythm]
I don’t need a final draft to feel the song
Every version of me gets to sing along
All the almosts, maybes, half-finished dreams
Are the best kind of “not quite what they seem”
If I ever reached the end, what would I do?
No more colors left to add, no sky to break through
So I’ll keep it messy, keep it bright and new
Every day’s a chance to start a different view
[Pre-Chorus – rising, joyful]
If it’s still in motion—great!
Let it twist and turn
Every single step
Is a chance to learn
[Refrain – bigger, celebratory]
Though my heart
(Is incomplete)
From the start
(Took the front-seat)
Every day (along the way)
Till the day I die
(Gonna try, try, try)
From the heart…
Till I depart
Sorry, I digress
(… I guess…)
Wouldn’t trade this—
Work in progress!
[Bridge – stripped, then build with stomp/clap]
If it’s finished, it’s over—
So I’m glad it’s not
Every second unfinished
Is another shot
At a laugh, at a change
At a brand-new start
At a little more color
In a growing heart
(hey!)
[Final Refrain – anthemic, crowd singalong]
Though my heart
(Is incomplete)
From the start
(Took the front-seat)
Every day (along the way)
Till the day I die
(Gonna try, try, try)
From the heart…
Till I depart
No regrets
(Just what’s next)
Every step
(Is the best yet!)
Sorry, I digress
(… I guess…)
I’m alive in this—
Work in progress!
[Outro – joyful fade, layered vocals]
(still becoming…)
Coming (coming) coming
(never done…)
Until become
(Until all’s one)
Going
(keep on going…)
Knowing
(Knowing)
(this is fun…)
… and I ain’t done!
