"Not Yet" lyrics

Ask me how it's going, I say fine
Truth is I'm still standing in the line
Not the man I was a year ago
Not the one I'm building, not yet, I know

Everybody's finished, everybody's arrived
I'm still in the middle of the build
Scaffolding where the walls should be
Half a house and time to kill

Not yet, but soon somewhere in the making
Not there, not who I was, beautifully breaking
Not done, not lost, just building in the dark
Not yet, but soon and that's enough for my heart

I used to hate the word unfinished
Like it meant I'd failed the test
Now I like the sound of almost
Now I let the middle rest

No one asks a river why it's moving
No one asks the morning why it's slow
Everything worth having takes its season
I'm just letting mine grow

Not yet, but soon still in the making
Not there, not who I was, beautifully breaking
Not done, not lost, just working in the dark
Not yet, but soon that's enough to start

Give me one more season
Give me one more turn
I'm not behind, I'm becoming
Let it take the time it earns

Not yet, but soon somewhere in the making
Not there, not who I was, beautifully breaking
Not done, not lost, just building in the dark
Not yet, but soon and that's enough for my heart
