TWO STEPS BACK IS
FURTHER THAN THEY SAY
EVERYONE THEY THINK
THINK I'M HOLDING IT TOGETHER TODAY

FROM MY LEANING TOWER
I'LL SHOOT A GLANCE YOU'LL NEVER FEEL
OF ALL MY SUPER POWERS
YOU KNOW I'VE STILL NOT LEARNED TO HEAL

WE NEVER DID WHAT WE WERE TOLD
TELL ME HOW'D WE GET SO OLD

RAN PAST THE FINISH LINE
BUT I KEPT RUNNING FOR THE GOLD
IT WON'T MATTER HOW LOUD YOU ARE
IF THEY AREN'T LISTENING ANYMORE

YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE ON FIRE
BUT ALL I'M SMELLING IS THE SMOKE
ANOTHER RACE UP THE WIRE
ANOTHER ONE OVERDOSED ON HOPE

WE NEVER DID WHAT WE WERE TOLD
HOW THE HELL'D WE GET SO OLD

I GUESS I COULD BLAME ME
BUT I THINK I'VE SUFFERED ENOUGH
I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT DREAMS
THEN THERE'S NOTHING TO GIVE UP

WE NEVER DID WHAT WE WERE TOLD
SO HOW'D WE ALL GET SO OLD
