lyrics

Gotta keep on moving, that’s all that I’m saying
Gotta keep on moving as long as I ain’t caving
And I can’t stop it now

Breaking my silence in the middle of the night
The excess seems too much for me to fight
Gotta hold on just a little tighter
Wait until they’re watching and smile a little wider
One of those days, no more like one of those lives
Sliding around until the moment arrives
Stepping out, I’m stepping out
And I won’t be back until a little beyond now

These tracks I make stay in my wake for all to see
One day I’ll veer right off the rails and then I’m free
And when I go, don’t bother chasing after me
I’ll be on my own rail

Kill the lights, they’re making noise again
I’m back for a while and I don’t know where I’ve been
Maybe the bar where the kids say “Word up”
Mainlining drugs that I’ve never even heard of
Danger, danger, don’t be a stranger
There’s nothing safer than a holiday in the manger
Stepping out, I’m stepping out
And I won’t be back until I get through it somehow

Crestfallen, I’m an artic chill
Spreading through the waves, rising over the hills
I’ve got a plan, I’ve got a map
I’ve got my love tucked into my lap
And we’re ready to travel and we don’t know where
But surely things are going to be so much better there
I’m stepping out, I’m stepping out
And I won’t be back at all so just pull the shades down
