4 Steps Back, 2 Steps Forward (Acoustic)

When I was a kid, I thought my life would end up different

Grow up have a family, get a job that makes a difference

I was fucking wrong, at 21 I'm inconsistent

But progress never loved me, I'll never love it back

But what am I to say?

I brace the storm, the clouds still end up gray

But what am I to do?

'Cause all my ships keep sailing back to you

What's the point of getting older?

Four steps back and two steps forward

You think I'm wrong

I hope you're right about life

'Cause I feel so, I feel so cornered

And I'm sorry dad, you won't see me get my diploma

I won't walk your alma mater, but you've seen through this persona

And I'm sorry mom, you didn't mean to raise a coward

I hear the disappointment hit the floor from off your tongue

But what did you expect?

I brace the storm, and I'm still feeling dead

What's the point of getting older?

Four steps back and two steps forward

You think I'm wrong

I hope you're right about life

'Cause I feel so, I feel so cornered

Four steps back and two steps forward

Four steps back and two steps forward

Four steps back and two steps forward
