Lyrics
Bags by the door, the key in my palm New lock turning and it feels so calm Bus map folded, I'm learning the lines Coffee on the corner, I'm doing just fine Neighbors wave, I don't know their names But a smile is a smile in any town's frames Day one stumbled, day two I stood Day three I found the spot that tastes like good One more block and I know the way Every step is a brand new day Week one, keys in my hand New town, new plan Week one, here I stand Clap it up, I'm gonna land Week one, keys in my hand Hey, hey, I can Week one, here I stand Louder than I ever planned Barber knows my name by Thursday Corner store clerk says I'm a regular, surely Left too early, still got lost Found a rooftop view and I'd pay the cost Mama on the phone says are you eating right I'm eating tacos by the neon light Every wrong turn is a story to tell Every new street rings like a bell One more block and I know the way Every step is a brand new day Week one, keys in my hand New town, new plan Week one, here I stand Clap it up, I'm gonna land Week one, keys in my hand Hey, hey, I can Week one, here I stand Louder than I ever planned Boxes still stacked to the ceiling But my heart is all unpacked Hands up if you started over And you never looked back Week one, keys in my hand New town, new plan Week one, here I stand Clap it up, I'm gonna land Week one, keys in my hand Hey, hey, I can Week one, here I stand Louder than I ever planned Keys in my hand Keys in my hand Week one, week one Home
