Frank Turner - Least Of All Young Caroline (early version) lyrics

[Verse 1] Amber slipped away last night Jim's still in the hospital With everything we went through last year Now it's a serious kick in the balls None of us need this Least of all young Caroline Child, I'd be lying if I told you everything would be fine [Chorus] Caroline I know things are desperate but everything will get better in the end Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again [Verse 2] Carol's parents built her up Then they let her slip on by Now she's got scars on her legs that she can't explain From when she disappeared that night She said she's not a little girl any more And her hands, they don't need holding much The girl I met in '99, she occasionally needs some touch [Chorus] Caroline I know things are desperate but everything will work out in the end Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again Every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again [Verse 3] Sometimes blood is visceral Sometimes it's just water Sometimes my family are the people I was born with Sometimes they are the people I've fought for People who have fought for me To help me just to stay alive Yeah family are the people you nod and smile to when you're trying to survive [Chorus] Caroline I know things are desperate but things will get better in the end Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again Caroline I know things are desperate but things will get better in the end Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again Every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again Every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again Every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
