One step forward And two steps back One swift move And I can't react Then, it's one wrong word And I can't redact (and I can't redact) Hyperbole or just plain fact And if I grip tighter The grains they slip The sands of time Through the whole thin fingers And, I said I love you The more we hate And now I pull back You reinstate 'Cause, its one step forward Then two steps back Just another song or a simple dance Wide awake or in a trance It doesn't seem to matter, it's happenstance 'Cause it's one step forward and two steps back 'Cause, I'm really trying when you say you can't The final chance To make amends Is doomed to pass I've tried to ask Brings me closer, yet it takes me back Memories are like hidden traps Winds me tighter, I need some slack Bullet train veering off the track Land or sky, 'cause sea makes me sick Medication or a drug limit I can travel, but my mind is trapped I'm trying to escape, but I really can't The final chance To make amends Is doomed to pass There's nothing left
