[Intro]
The glass keeps count of hours, I count the quiet in my room
A city hums outside, but I learn to listen to my own tune
[Verse 1]
Nineteen winters, just a spark in a crowded room
Watching the streetlights blink like questions I presume
I pace the borders of my own small universe
Dreaming up a name I’m not sure I’ve earned yet, but I’ll rehearse
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world feels distant, I’ll write my footprint in the air
One step at a time, even if no one sees me there
[Chorus]
I’m nineteen, building a quiet map of me
From a window seat to the future I can’t yet see
I’ll trade the doubt for a stubborn, patient flame
Trying to find my way, making a name inside my name
[Verse 2]
I notice storms in the coffee cups and in the screens I scroll
Small wins hover like a breath, then vanish, then console
No grand parade, just small doors I learn to open slow
A single chorus in my heart saying, you’ll grow, you’ll grow
[Pre-Chorus]
If the night stays long, I’ll keep the pen and paper near
Counting tiny milestones till they finally appear
[Chorus]
I’m nineteen, building a quiet map of me
From a window seat to the future I can’t yet see
I’ll trade the doubt for a stubborn, patient flame
Trying to find my way, making a name inside my name
[Bridge]
Maybe the single step is enough to start the run
Maybe the name I seek begins with the person I’ve begun
[Chorus]
I’m nineteen, building a quiet map of me
From a window seat to the future I can’t yet see
I’ll trade the doubt for a stubborn, patient flame
Trying to find my way, making a name inside my name
[Outro]
From this quiet window, the world waits with a patient grin
If I keep showing up, I’ll finally let the daylight in
