Lyrics

[Chorus]
You always push too hard, baby
Oh, you never know when to take it easy
Everytime I go it sends you crazy
Baby, maybe
You gotta learn
How to take a step back
Take a step back
[Verse 1]
We’re climbing higher and higher
Being pushed to the point of breaking
Fighting fire with fire
We're watching everything burning, baby
[PreChorus]
When we finally find some rhythm
You skip a beat with the grace that your given
Our loves like trading an eye for an eye
While it begs you to stay
Begs you to stay
[Chorus]
You always push too hard, baby
Oh, you never know when to take it easy
Everytime I go it sends you crazy
Baby, maybe
You gotta learn
How to take a step back
Take a step back
[Verse 2]
It's like we've been here forever
Always making a mess of each other
There's so much pain in the pleasure
Oh, we perfectly play one another
[PreChorus]
We shy away from the hard conversations
We thrive in the heat of our last confrontation
Our loves like trading an eye for an eye
While it begs you to stay
Begs you to stay
Begs you to stay
Oh, begs you to stay
[Chorus]
You always push too hard, baby
Oh, you never know when to take it easy
Everytime I go it sends you crazy
Baby, maybe
You gotta learn
How to take a step back
[Bridge]
Oh-oh
Woah-oh
[Refrain]
You gotta take a step back
Take a step back
You gotta take a step back
Take a step back
You gotta take a step back
Take a step back
Woah-oh, take a step back
You gotta take it, baby
Take it, baby, take it, baby
Oh-oh
You gotta take it, baby
Take it, baby
Hoh-oh
You gotta take it, baby
[Refrain]
You gotta take it, baby
Take it, baby
Hoh-oh
You gotta take it, baby
Take it, baby
You gotta take a step back
