Walk up

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Engine still ticking in the lot

Fingers tap the wheel twice

Crack the door and stand up slow

Legs colder than the asphalt

Fifty yards of open air ahead

Eyes low toward the gate

Nothing loud inside my chest but

Something ticking like a clock

Pre-Chorus

Heart is knocking on my ribs

(Faster faster)

Breath comes short and sharp and thin

(Faster faster)

Keep my shoulders level still

Nobody needs to see it

Chorus

Walk up walk up

Chin down steady

Walk up walk up

Stay humble ready

I belong here

Still nervous though

Walk up walk up

Take the next step slow

Post-Chorus

(Mm-hmm)

(Still nervous)

(Mm-hmm)

(Chin down)

Verse 2

Doors swing wide and the air goes thin

Floor smells like tape and chalk

People talking over my own pulse

A nod to a face I know

Bag strap tight across my palm

Laces pulled to the knot

Small voice underneath the noise says

You already did the hard part

Pre-Chorus

Shins tight and buzzing low

(Faster faster)

Count the steps and let them go

(Faster faster)

Keep my jaw unclenched and soft

Nobody needs to see it

Chorus

Walk up walk up

Chin down steady

Walk up walk up

Stay humble ready

I belong here

Still nervous though

Walk up walk up

Take the next step slow

Bridge

Hold breath hold breath

(Hold breath hold breath)

Hold breath and let it out

Tense hands tense hands

(Tense hands tense hands)

Loose them one by one

Quiet proud quiet scared

(Quiet proud quiet scared)

Both are walking with me

Chorus

Walk up walk up

Chin down steady

Walk up walk up

Stay humble ready

I belong here

Still nervous though

Walk up walk up

Take the next step slow

Post-Chorus

(Mm-hmm)

(Still nervous)

(Mm-hmm)

(Stay humble)

Outro

Mm-hmm

(Chin down)

Oh-oh

(Walk up)
