Lyrics
Put a star beside it
I showed up, I tried it
Put a star beside it
I got one thing right
Monday wrote itself in pencil
Crooked letters, running late
Missed the lift and took the stairs
Reached the top at eight-oh-eight
Said the sentence I'd been saving
Heard my voice shake, then land
Drew a cloud beside the moment
Gave it sneakers and two hands
The page looked messy, so did I
But three boxes had a tick
I tapped my pen against the desk
The day had found its beat
Put a star beside it
I showed up, I tried it
Sent the message, took the chance
Did the thing I kept avoiding
Put a star beside it
Let the cloud dance around it
I won't wait to be amazing
To admit I did all right
Put a star beside it
I got one thing right
At lunch, the zipper left my bag
So I tied it with a ribbon
The girl beside me laughed and said
"That actually looks brilliant."
I asked for help before I froze
Then solved the final line
Gave the cloud a paper hat
And wrote, "We did all right."
My plan ran off the margin
Arrows crossed from end to end
Still, the page kept moving forward
And I knew where to begin
Put a star beside it
I showed up, I tried it
Made the call, corrected twice
Kept the promise I had written
Put a star beside it
Let the cloud dance around it
I won't wait to be amazing
To admit I did all right
Put a star beside it
I got one thing right
Tick, tick, circle, underline
Made it through the awkward part
Shake, shake, scribble in the side
Give the effort its own star
Cloud in the corner, keeping time
Bouncing with the words I write
One untidy page became
A day I'm glad to call mine
Put a star beside it
I spoke up, I tried it
Lost my nerve and found it back
Kept on going through the timing
Put a star beside it
Let the cloud dance around it
I won't wait to be amazing
To admit I did all right
Put a star beside it
I got more than one thing right
Dear today, you were untidy
So was I, and I still liked it
Draw a cloud and close the diary
Put a star beside it
