I've got stacks of notebooks with words written through Got a basement for junk and a heart just for you That's just the way I am, that's just the way I am and always will be One step closer than so far away One step closer and I'm proud to say One step further from the man that I was yesterday One step further I got a problem keeping it under control Don't wanna live my life like I'm out on parole If we all lived in stone houses, would we still endure the pain, all the same? One step closer to the goals I've set One step closer to a nice vignette One step further from a life full of regret One step further
