step back, realize
i've not gone anywhere
but back and forth again
and i miss you my friend
the one who stands up for me
and is a better version of me
is missing and
i realized

my motivations cry at the thought of
confrontation
i am coming up with new ways everyday
to stay right where i am

first step, realize
if i pretend that i am
who i want to be
it might rub off on me
the one who stands up for me
and is a better version of me
is missing and
i realized

my motivations thrive on the thought
of creation
i am coming up with new ways every day
once i read through what you say
i wont have to stay
right where i am

once i read through what you say
i wont have to stay
right where i am

step back. realize
that your example it will turn out all right
step up just in time
to take the place of all the heroes in your mind
you're the only critic worth listening to
you've got to step back, step up, step up
just in time
