[Verse 1]

Once upon a time I was somebody else

In another life, I saw myself

Way back then, back when I was new

Somewhere down the line I started to slip

Years gone by, biting my lip

All the while, all this time I knew

Now you're on your own, one for the pages

Over the hill and through the ages

Does my heaven burn like hell on you?

Out beneath the cracks and comin' in waves

Rollin' like an earthquake under the pavement

Heavy now, tell me Mr. Truth

[Pre-Chorus]

You got a lot of nerve

Nerve

Now, show a little backbone, why don't you?

[Chorus]

I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you

Are you feelin' the same as I do

Now and now and then?

I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you

Are you feelin' the same as I do?

Down and out

[Verse 2]

Holdin' my breath, I waited and waited

How'd the simple life get so complicated?

Shoes to fill, secrets to spill down you

Deer in the headlights, spoke in the wheel

You want pretend, I need for real

I'm takin' it back, all my IOU's

[Pre-Chorus]

You got a lot of nerve

Nerve

Now, show a little backbone, why don't you?

[Chorus]

I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you

Are you feelin' the same as I do

Now and now and then?

I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you

Are you feelin' the same as I do?

Down and out

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]

You got a lot of nerve

Nerve

Nerve

Nerve

Now show a little backbone, why don't you?

[Chorus]

I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you

Are you feelin' the same as I do

Now and now and then?

I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you

Are you feelin' the same as I do

Now and now and then?

I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you

Are you feelin' the same as I do?

Down and out
