Kenny White - One Step Up lyrics

one step up, two steps back fighting off this heart attack the southern sky's got northern lights but they don't even seem so bright i won't go back there without you pinch me i believe i'm dreaming words take on a whole new meaning pictures, they don't look the same i don't respond to my own name i won't go back there without you if i live to 90 years i couldn't cry this many tears as it is, i'm beyond blue and less and less i know is true and i won't go back there without you bent over the stove at home i catch myself in the chrome i kind of recognize the face but someone's walking in my place my heart is full, full of space how'd i get here, where'd you go? is there anything i know? the wind is stirring up the lake this constant dull and vicious ache is something i may never shake it's a cooler night than usual so i pull out the winter wool the footsteps that i'd hoped were yours keep stopping just outside the door and i won't go back there without you i got my friends, i make ends meet i got my dog who's awfully sweet i got my family, i'm not alone i just have to pick up the phone but i got no place to call my home as kids we laughed and screamed and yelled chased each other, ran like hell the saddest things, the scariest would vanish with a little kiss so take me to another day wash me in the ocean's spray let's talk about the things to do there's so much to look forward to but i won't go back there without you no i won't go back there without you i won't go back there without you shawn pelton…drums paul ossola…upright ba** duke levine…electric & baritone guitar larry campbell…mandolin, fiddle kenny white…acoustic guitar marc cohn…harmony vocal
