Back On My Feet Lyrics

I know I'm not

The only one who's

Feeling lonely

The only one

Out here struggling

Feeling like a ghost at work

Feeling like I'm falling behind

Learning how to get back up after falling down

Learning how to put the pieces back when I fall apart

Still feeling like a ghost in public when I go out

But learning to be okay with that

Racing to work today, woke up late

The Wonder Years playing on my drive there

Trying to absorb the best of their ambition

Mold myself into a better person

My parents left soon after I graduated

I decided to stay

Couldn't let go of the only two that made me feel

Like life was worth it

Now plenty of times

I don't know what I'm doing

Take a step forward

While everyone is moving

Twenty steps ahead of me

And I don't know how to fix this

Learning how to get back up after falling down

Learning how to put the pieces back when I fall apart

Still feeling like a ghost in public when I go out

But learning to be okay with that

Driving home in the fading light of sunset

My work's on the other side of town now

So I don't have to drive past your house anymore

See scenes of us in the yard together

I remember being a kid

Carving pumpkins on your back porch

The glowing rocks that lined your driveway

And the lantern that we broke

Now plenty of times

I don't know what I'm doing

Take a step forward

While everyone is moving

Twenty steps ahead of me

But I know I'm not

The only one who's

Feeling lonely

The only one

Out here struggling

Feeling like a ghost at work

Feeling like I'm falling behind

Learning how to get back up after falling down

Learning how to put the pieces back when I fall apart

Still feeling like a ghost in public when I go out

But learning to be okay with that

I wonder what my mom would think if she were here

Was never really one to judge

But seeing me starting back at square one

I'm not going to die a failure

Sick of being a fucking coward

Sick of letting those who believe in me down

(But I know I'm not)

Learning how to get back up after falling down

(The only one who's feeling lonely)

Learning how to put the pieces back when I fall apart

(The only one out here struggling)

Still feeling like a ghost in public when I go out

(Feeling like a ghost at work)

But learning to be okay with that

(Feeling like I'm falling behind)

Even if it's not what I want

Even if it's not what I want
