Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Five steps up, I almost smile
Then I slip right down the aisle
Not a mile from something good
Still I turn like I never should
I keep reaching with my eyes
For the next one, I idealize
What I want looks close enough
But I miss the real-time stuff
[Pre-Chorus]
Five forward, then I lose my ground
Twenty back, I spin around
I keep asking for the change
While my hands stay out of range
[Chorus]
Five forward, twenty back
I keep on wearing that track
Want the better, miss the now
Break my own heart somehow
Five forward, twenty back
(Twenty back)
I see the gold, then I look past
Five forward, twenty back
[Verse 2]
I got proof in every room
Little wins can bloom too soon
But I chase the far-off shine
Like the answer waits in line
Best thing here has been in reach
Still I stare at what I preach
If I only looked around
I might find my feet on ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Five forward, then I lose my ground
Twenty back, I spin around
I keep asking for the change
While my hands stay out of range
[Chorus]
Five forward, twenty back
I keep on wearing that track
Want the better, miss the now
Break my own heart somehow
Five forward, twenty back
(Twenty back)
I see the gold, then I look past
Five forward, twenty back
[Bridge]
Maybe more is not the test
Maybe here is what knows best
If I stop and let it stay
I could meet my life halfway
[Final Chorus]
Five forward, twenty back
I keep on wearing that track
Want the better, miss the now
Break my own heart somehow
Five forward, twenty back
(Twenty back)
I see the gold, then I look past
Five forward, twenty back
