One Step Forward

(album: Young Man - 2022)

I can't complain, but I still do
I'm always looking, but I'm missing the view
In my head it's better and it's greener too
I'm chasing green until it's turned me blue
Watch while I go down this self imposed long, long road

'Cause it's
One step forward
Two steps back
Uphill battle
Slipping right through the cracks
Late arrival
Missed your train
Sitting on your suitcase
In the pouring rain

I need a dollar, but I got a dime
I need a minute, but I'm out of time

I ain't working, but it ain't all bad
Try to be thankful for the time that I've had
Spent with my boys and their momma too
Try to enjoy it but it's hard to do
Watch while I go down this self imposed long, long road

'Cause it's
One step forward
Two steps back
Uphill battle
Slipping right through the cracks
Late arrival
Missed your train
Sitting on your suitcase
In the pouring rain

I need a dollar but I got a dime
I need a minute but I'm out of time
Watch while I go down this self imposed long, long road

I can't seem to keep my head on straight
The door is closing and it's getting late
This little pill is a hard one to take
And I've certainly been taking my time

'Cause it's
One step forward
Two steps back
Uphill battle
Slipping right through the cracks
Late arrival
Missed your train
Sitting on your suitcase
In the pouring rain

I need a dollar, but I got a dime
I need a minute, but I'm out of time
Good as it is, I can't help but feel I'm falling behind
