​​the way down

[Verse 1]
I drank some water yesterday, I took a shower
Went on a walk, I saw the sun for one whole hour
I changed my clothes and brushed my hair, put on some lotion
But anymore and life starts moving in slow motion

[Pre-Chorus]
They say it's a climb to the finish line
But I think it feels more like…

[Chorus]
The hardest part is coming down
Knowing that eventually your feet will have to hit the ground
It's not the mountain you have to climb
It's knowing all the scary things you left didn't get left behind
And even if you turn around
The healing starts on the way down

[Verse 2]
I stretched a little, put some sugar in my coffee
But then I cried because I tripped and spilled some on me
I haven't talked to anyone in weeks and weeks
I've only got the smallest baby steps in me

[Pre-Chorus]
They say it's a climb to the finish line
But I think it feels more like…

[Chorus]
The hardest part is coming down
Knowing that eventually your feet will have to hit the ground
It's not the mountain you have to climb
It's knowing all the scary things you left didn't get left behind
And even if you turn around
The healing starts on the way down

[Bridge]
You gotta pick if you're fighting or trying to flee
Or to learn to let go of who you used to be
Understanding it takes time to finally find peace
'Cause nothing else heals wounds this deep

[Chorus]
The hardest part is coming down
Knowing that eventually your feet will have to hit the ground
It's not the mountain you have to climb
It's knowing all the scary things you left didn't get left behind
And even if you turn around
The healing starts on the way down
