Step Up/Step Back Lyrics

I can't remember a single time when I

I wasn't fighting

To run from the future and hide away from now

So tired from trying,

It's no big surprise when

I look up and I'm left behind

By the crowd

Why can't we slow down?

I'm pulled in each direction

Till my limbs have hit their limit

One step up, and one step back

Guess I'm stuck

It never gets me nowhere

Always running

One step up, one step back

I'm growing up

But why I gotta do it alone?

Do you remember when we were just making believe?

Now, we sit back and wonder

How days turned to years

A teen on the tail end of failed adolescence

A bud yet to bloom

But it won't blossom here

Stuck in the sidewalk

The concrete's suffocating

And the cracks leave no room

I'd be better off

Heavy from the memories

I've been holding like I'm used to

One step up, one step back

Guess I'm stuck

It never gets me nowhere

Always running

One step up, one step back

I'm growing up

But why I gotta do it alone?

There's nothing to it

(Woah)

Just muscle through it

(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)

The races must go on

(Woah)

If you're ready or not

(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)

One step up, and one step back

Guess I'm stuck

It never gets me nowhere

Always running

One step up, one step back

I'm growing up

But why I gotta do it alone?

One step up, and one step back

Guess I'm stuck

It never gets me nowhere

Always running

One step up, one step back

I'm growing up

But why I gotta do it alone?
