Step Up/Step Back
I can't remember a single time when I
I wasn't fighting
To run from the future and hide away from now
So tired from trying,
It's no big surprise when
I look up and I'm left behind
By the crowd
Why can't we slow down?
I'm pulled in each direction
Till my limbs have hit their limit
One step up, and one step back
Guess I'm stuck
It never gets me nowhere
Always running
One step up, one step back
I'm growing up
But why I gotta do it alone?
Do you remember when we were just making believe?
Now, we sit back and wonder
How days turned to years
A teen on the tail end of failed adolescence
A bud yet to bloom
But it won't blossom here
Stuck in the sidewalk
The concrete's suffocating
And the cracks leave no room
I'd be better off
Heavy from the memories
I've been holding like I'm used to
One step up, one step back
Guess I'm stuck
It never gets me nowhere
Always running
One step up, one step back
I'm growing up
But why I gotta do it alone?
There's nothing to it
(Woah)
Just muscle through it
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
The races must go on
(Woah)
If you're ready or not
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
One step up, and one step back
Guess I'm stuck
It never gets me nowhere
Always running
One step up, one step back
I'm growing up
But why I gotta do it alone?
One step up, and one step back
Guess I'm stuck
It never gets me nowhere
Always running
One step up, one step back
I'm growing up
But why I gotta do it alone?
I wasn't fighting
To run from the future and hide away from now
So tired from trying,
It's no big surprise when
I look up and I'm left behind
By the crowd
Why can't we slow down?
I'm pulled in each direction
Till my limbs have hit their limit
One step up, and one step back
Guess I'm stuck
It never gets me nowhere
Always running
One step up, one step back
I'm growing up
But why I gotta do it alone?
Do you remember when we were just making believe?
Now, we sit back and wonder
How days turned to years
A teen on the tail end of failed adolescence
A bud yet to bloom
But it won't blossom here
Stuck in the sidewalk
The concrete's suffocating
And the cracks leave no room
I'd be better off
Heavy from the memories
I've been holding like I'm used to
One step up, one step back
Guess I'm stuck
It never gets me nowhere
Always running
One step up, one step back
I'm growing up
But why I gotta do it alone?
There's nothing to it
(Woah)

(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
The races must go on

(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
One step up, and one step back
Guess I'm stuck
It never gets me nowhere
Always running
One step up, one step back
I'm growing up
But why I gotta do it alone?
One step up, and one step back
Guess I'm stuck
It never gets me nowhere
Always running
One step up, one step back
I'm growing up
But why I gotta do it alone?
