53 Steps

[Verse 1] I am fifty-three steps from my apartment I've memorized the cracks that age the road I couldn't quite grasp what my heart meant But I think that it was telling me to go [Pre-Chorus] Now I'm going up, down, spinning round Trying to communicate But these words aren't quite what I'm trying to say I'm coming close, close, close I feel it in my toes, toes, toes [Chorus] There's a light that shines when I'm on the road There's a brand new sky that I need to go I'm reading signs, signs, signs And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snow As the road leads me into the great unknown [Verse 2] Seventeen blocks from the station And forty-eight stops from the coast I could jump with all my clothes on in the ocean And let the water rock me in her throws [Pre-Chorus] And go up, down, spin round Leave it up to fate Like some sailor finding comfort in the waves I'm coming close, close, close I feel it in my toes, toes, toes [Chorus] There's a light that shines when I'm on the road There's a brand new sky where I need to go I'm reading signs, signs, signs And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snow As I walk into the great unknown [Verse 3] I feel it in my toes, I know I'm coming close So I'll leave this old town with her saints and her ghosts I'm coming close, close, close The signs say I need to go, go, go [Chorus] There's a light that shines when I'm on the road There's a brand new sky where I need to go I'm reading signs, signs, signs And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snow As I walk into the great unknown [Outro] As I walk into the great unknown As I walk into the great unknown
