[Verse 1] I traced the crack On the old front step You said, "Not yet" But I left anyway One hand on the rail One eye on the road I was scared of fallin' Still I moved my feet
[Pre-Chorus] If I shake a little If I stall a while You know where to find me Right here, on the line I can hear your voice Under all my noise Pulling me closer Till I make the choice
[Chorus] One more step One more step I can make it One more step One more step You can take my hand One more step One more step And I'll stand again (One more step)
[Verse 2] Dust on my shoes Rain on my sleeve Little blue bruises I learned how to keep You left the porch light Burning for me Now I'm at the door With a key I believed
[Pre-Chorus] If I shake a little If I stall a while You know where to find me Right here, on the line I can hear your voice Under all my noise Pulling me closer Till I make the choice
[Chorus] One more step One more step I can make it One more step One more step You can take my hand One more step One more step And I'll stand again (One more step)
[Bridge] If I break, don't let me Stay in the dark If I fall, just meet me Where the ground starts I don't need perfect I just need now I just need your "come on" To show me how
[Final Chorus] One more step One more step I can make it One more step One more step You can take my hand One more step One more step And I'll stand again One more step One more step Till the whole thing lands (One more step)
Stijl van muziek
Pop ballad with steady midtempo pulse and warm four-on-the-floor drum lift; verse rides sparse piano, muted bass, and tight finger snaps, pre-chorus opens with rising pads and stacked harmonies, chorus lands with full drums and wide singalong doubles. Vocal is intimate close-mic in verses, breathy lead with octave doubles on hooks, short delay throws on the last word. Ear candy: reversed piano swell into each chorus, soft clap roll before the lift, shimmering chime tail after the hook. Bright, polished, and emotionally forward.
