One Step

do i really look like a rock to you

i'm paralyzed by my wide eyes, yeah i'm not likely to move

but i swear everyone i meet has walls that stand on their own

climb the flight in steps of two

you never have to meet me halfway

i've got nothing in my calendar but flexibility

and I'll still ask far too politely for what I should demand

[CHORUS]

Why can't the world stop to catch its own breath?

Is there a color of the rainbow that I can't see?

You think I'd be done playing catch-up by now,

But everyone else can't help but stay one step ahead of me

know your place and wait your turn

its easy to say when you take all my moves

you steal a turn, stack the deck and buy yourself another roll

we draw a card, we roll the dice, and only get to do as we're told

If I could read your mind I wouldn't waste our time

stepping on toes as a kid in his father's shoes

why don't you just give up and call yourselef grown up

well let's not fool ourselves that's what its alla bout

accept reality admit to yourself

I can't stop sleeping

I can't stop drinking

I can't stop wondering if I'm good enough

I can't stop thinking of what I've given up

I'm never satisfied enough to grow up
