I like to keep things close to the same

Got personal problems adapting to change

I always plan things so far away

But when I get started, it's far too late

I like pretending that I know what to do

Like if I really feel at home, then it'll all come true

I like pretending I've made it on my own

When it could all end with a phone call home

God, it's so hard

To juggle all the things that have been handed to me

But I can't stop

I've got to get back up

So I'm step, step, stepping it up

I'm catching up in a rush

I'm always some ways away

From where I wanna end up

Step, step up and jump

I'm reaching up and above

I'm always running away

When I don't know how to stop

Maybe I just need something

Something to keep me down

It feels so lonely when I dip

My head into the clouds

This gravity's too open

Sometimes I miss the ground

It feels so weird to kiss the earth

I wanna get right back to

Step, step, stepping it up

I'm catching up in a rush

I'm always some ways away

From where I wanna end up

Step, step up and jump

I'm reaching up and above

I'm always running away

When I don't know how to stop

(Step, step, step, step it up)

I'm always some ways away

From where I wanna end up

(Step, step, step, step it up)

I'm always running away

When I don't know how to stop

I try to sleep well, but every night

I can't shake the feeling I'm wasting time

I've gotta sink before I can fly

But I'm still afloat, and I don't know why

Maybe it's all gonna slow way down

That's all I can hope for, but I still don't know

I roll with the punches, I live in the now

I take a step forward, and I double back

So I'm step, step, stepping it up

I'm catching up in a rush

I'm always some ways away

From where I wanna end up

Step, step up and jump

I'm reaching up and above

I'm always running away

When I don't know how to stop

Maybe I just need something

Something to keep me down

It feels so lonely when I dip

My head into the clouds

This gravity's too open

Sometimes I miss the ground

It feels so weird to kiss the earth

I wanna get right back to

Step, step, stepping it up

I'm catching up in a rush

I'm always some ways away

From where I wanna end up

Step, step up and jump

I'm reaching up and above

I'm always running away

When I don't know how to stop

(Step, step, step, step it up)

I'm always some ways away

From where I wanna end up

(Step, step, step, step it up)

I'm always running away

When I don't know how to stop
