lyrics
[Verse 1]
You keep your dreams
Folded small
In a coffee can
On the closet wall
Names of towns
You’ve never seen
Taped up crooked
Where you used to keep your team posters
[Chorus]
All your secret wishes
Still breathing in the dark
Tiny paper boats
Waiting for a spark
If your hands are shaking
Let them shake and go
It only takes one step
To find an open road
[Verse 2]
You trace the maps
In midnight blue
Circle places
You swore you’d get to
Train tracks hum
Through the window glass
You tell your shadow
“Maybe this is it at last” (oh)
[Chorus]
All your secret wishes
Still breathing in the dark
Tiny paper boats
Waiting for a spark
If your hands are shaking
Let them shake and go
It only takes one step
To find an open road
[Bridge]
Call your fear by name
Walk beside it
Not behind
Pack your doubts with your sweater
Leave the heaviest ones behind
[Chorus]
All your secret wishes
Spilling from the dark
Set them on the water
Watch them catch a star
If your voice is breaking
Let it crack and glow
It only takes one step
To find an open road
Yeah
It only takes one step
To find your open road
You keep your dreams
Folded small
In a coffee can
On the closet wall
Names of towns
You’ve never seen
Taped up crooked
Where you used to keep your team posters
[Chorus]
All your secret wishes
Still breathing in the dark
Tiny paper boats
Waiting for a spark
If your hands are shaking
Let them shake and go
It only takes one step
To find an open road
[Verse 2]
You trace the maps
In midnight blue
Circle places
You swore you’d get to
Train tracks hum
Through the window glass
You tell your shadow
“Maybe this is it at last” (oh)
[Chorus]
All your secret wishes
Still breathing in the dark
Tiny paper boats
Waiting for a spark
If your hands are shaking
Let them shake and go
It only takes one step
To find an open road
[Bridge]
Call your fear by name
Walk beside it
Not behind
Pack your doubts with your sweater
Leave the heaviest ones behind
[Chorus]
All your secret wishes
Spilling from the dark
Set them on the water
Watch them catch a star
If your voice is breaking
Let it crack and glow
It only takes one step
To find an open road
Yeah
It only takes one step
To find your open road
音樂風格
Warm indie-pop ballad with female vocals; fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft piano under intimate verses, brushed snare and subtle bass easing in on the first chorus. Hook blooms with layered harmonies and a simple sing-along top line; bridge pulls instruments back to near-silence, then final chorus swells with tambourine, airy pads, and a gentle cymbal lift.
