One Step Forward

[Verse 1]
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 greener ‘til it's turned me blue

[Pre-Chorus]
Watch while I go down this self imposed long long road

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Watch while I go down this self imposed long long road

[Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Watch while I go down this self imposed long long road

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Good as it is, I can’t help but feel I’m falling behind
