53 Steps
by Rachel Platten

Album: Be Here

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
