[Verse 1]

One step, two step can be a hard walk

Down a slippery line

Lest ye forget what keeps your heart warm

On the coldest nights

You're never gonna have the answers

To everything all at once

Think what they're all missing

You've gone and abandoned

[Chorus]

How I sound now I

I won't sound by tonight

So I'd hold your cards

Tight against the floor

[Post Chorus]

With anyone else it wouldn't have helped

You did it yourself to feel the things you never felt

You need to keep that part of you safe

With anyone else it wouldn't have helped

You did it yourself to feel the things you never felt

You need to keep that part of you safe

I'd say

[Verse 2]

But when they come they'll come what may

And they won't listen to a word that you say

It's a choice, at least you got yourself a voice

That's more than I can say

[Chorus]

How I sound now I

I won't sound by tonight

So I'd hold your cards

Tight against the floor

[Outro]

How I sound now I

I won't sound by tonight

So I'd hold your cards

Tight against the floor
