Crawling out from underneath
There's a heaviness in me
Only taught to gnash it's teeth
At almost everything
I was frozen, now I'm free
But I still can't move my feet
And the company I keep
Isn't keeping much of me
If I live through this, I'm gold
& If I don't die now, then, I won't
I'll rub a little dirt in it and head back home
To lick my wounds alone
Well, if you can't tell, I'm somewhere else
If it's downhill, then I don't notice
I'm only coasting
And the road is full of parables
I learn, the hard way, those worth knowing
And just keep going, even if it's only coasting
I was blind but I see now
Or something else profound
Kinda like the way that sounds
Or I would, if it left my mouth
Biting my tongue, forgiveness ain't what I wanted
Prodigal son, I learn how to live without it
Left home, and built my own
To lick my wounds alone
Well, if you can't tell, I'm somewhere else
If it's downhill, then I don't notice
I'm only coasting
And the road is full of parables
I learn, the hard way, those worth knowing
And just keep going, even if it's only coasting
(Only coasting, only coasting
Only coasting, oh-oh)
Five steps forward, and four steps back
Hardly hit a hiccup, better hold your breath
Five steps forward, and four steps back
Hardly hit a hiccup, better hold your breath
Five steps forward, and four steps back
Hardly hit a hiccup, better hold your breath
