Lyrics
One step forward and two steps back
You turn round the corner then you double back
Nobody's waiting to hold your hand
Go watch the band
Daddy at bar with the backwards hat
Says - "babe, you ain't always gonna look like that
I can hook you up if you call me back
You can meet the band"
"One step forward and two steps back,
why should I believe you when you talk like that?"
Kid on the corner with the brand new shoes
flew out west with something to prove
Show 'em what you got, what you have to lose
Go take a chance
One step forward and two steps back
Who's gonna listen when you play like that?
It's a chain reaction
The moth to the flame
It's a tired transaction
Playing a losing game
Lipstick stains on a crystal glass
Head in the future and her heart in the past
She'd give up the galas just to get herself back
But at least she knows the band
One step forward and two steps back
Lines in the mirror while your dream bleeds black
The cracks in the frame
It's a tired transaction
Playing a losing game
One step forward and two steps back.
