In my throat there died a quivering howl
My hands cradling our unseen days
Your razorblade attitude and ember-eye scowl
Burning through the shroud of your nicotine haze
Across a million different lifetimes
I’d make the same mistakes
That led me stumbling into your arms
I’ll walk beside you through the dark
Our steps in time
Your hand in mine
I’m here to catch you when you fall
Our steps entwined
Your hands in mine
You were so quick to dive in
As you showed me the curve of your scars
My fingers traced the etchings mapped across your skin
But I’m still learning to navigate the map of who you are
I don’t deserve to be the man that you turn to
But every day you know I’m trying to be
When there’s nothing left for you to hold onto
I’ll make sure that you can hold onto me
I’ll walk beside you through the dark
Our steps in time
Your hand in mine
I’m here to catch you when you fall
Our steps entwined
Your hands in mine
One day at a time
We’ll weather what this year throws at us
Before it has the chance to smother us in our sleep
We’re shipping off this island
Gonna find another story to tell
I’d sail us off the edge of the world
If it got us through the raging storm and towering swells
I’ll walk beside you through the dark
Our steps in time
Your hand in mine
I’m here to catch you when you fall
Our steps entwined
Your hands in mine
One day at a time
One day at a time
We’ll wash up on that distant shoreline
One day at a time
