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
