Two Steps Back
Nobody caught me when I fell backwards
And now that's a problem for you
When that cold wind starts from the west hills
I have to get right with the truth
Though we hide in fine shelter
To dine like food won't end
Each night, I greet the darkness as it's rolling in
For motivation, lying to the sky that I love the rain
For understatment, crying to the mirror that times have changed
If it's complicated, lying to myself that you made it this way
When we're done and jaded, try to tell each other
That it didn't mean a thing
I fight like a child abandoned
On the steps of a jail at night
To find any recent memory
That has you in my eyes
As you break the leash from your harness
To run up around the bend
And make some real progress with each succesive friend
For motivation, lying to the sky that I love the rain
For understatment, crying to the mirror that times have changed
If it's complicated, lying to myself that you made it this way
When we're done and jaded, try to tell each other
That it didn't mean a thing
When the lie that Heaven adores you
Is smiled through wealthy teeth
Do the cries that the wine provides
Bring that sweet release
Yeah, you're way ahead the race
But it isn't being timed
And I plan to hit the bar before the finish line
For motivation, lying to the sky that I love the rain
For understatment, crying to the mirror that times have changed
If it's complicated, lying to myself that you made it this way
When we're done and jaded, try to tell myself
That you didn't mean a thing
And now that's a problem for you
When that cold wind starts from the west hills
I have to get right with the truth
Though we hide in fine shelter
To dine like food won't end
Each night, I greet the darkness as it's rolling in
For motivation, lying to the sky that I love the rain
For understatment, crying to the mirror that times have changed
If it's complicated, lying to myself that you made it this way
When we're done and jaded, try to tell each other
That it didn't mean a thing
I fight like a child abandoned
On the steps of a jail at night
To find any recent memory
That has you in my eyes
As you break the leash from your harness
To run up around the bend
And make some real progress with each succesive friend
For motivation, lying to the sky that I love the rain
For understatment, crying to the mirror that times have changed
If it's complicated, lying to myself that you made it this way
When we're done and jaded, try to tell each other
That it didn't mean a thing
When the lie that Heaven adores you
Is smiled through wealthy teeth
Do the cries that the wine provides
Bring that sweet release
Yeah, you're way ahead the race
But it isn't being timed
And I plan to hit the bar before the finish line
For motivation, lying to the sky that I love the rain
For understatment, crying to the mirror that times have changed
If it's complicated, lying to myself that you made it this way
When we're done and jaded, try to tell myself
That you didn't mean a thing
