One Step Forward

She lives in a small town
That nobody knows
In a house with a garden
Where nothing ever grows
It's not a place for the living
More a place for the dead
She always followed their rules
She always did what they said

But now she tries to save some money
For a ticket out
'Cause she gets to dream sometimes
In between the doubt
But when she goes out drinking
For a night out on the town
She spends it all again
Buying another round

And she takes one step forward
Two steps back
Oh, she wants to know
Where the good life's at
But she takes one step forward
Two steps back
She'll never really get back

She wants to be different
But too much different ain't good
Her friends all think she's crazy
They never really understood
All the dreams that she believes in
Why she wants to achieve them
They mock her out of spite
Until she thinks to herself
"Hey, they're probably right"

And she takes one step forward
Two steps back
She wants to know
Where the good life's at
But she takes one step forward
Two steps back
She'll never really get back on the right track

She may lose or she may win
Nobody knows
But they all say that fools rush in
And here she goes

One step forward
Two steps back
She wants to know
Where the good life's at
But she takes one step forward
Two steps back
She'll never really get back on the right track

One step forward
Two steps back
One step forward
Two steps back
One step forward
Two steps back
One step forward
