Standing on the shore, facing east
I can't feel youStanding on the shore, facing east
Your impermanence
You're taking water
Listing lazily out of viewI remember when we were friends
I remember calling you friendStanding on the shore my ear aimed east
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore
I still remember
Laughing and fighting
I still rememberStanding on the shore, watching for you
You're painted into a corner
Whatever fits in your pockets; you'll get your due
Just like before
With all the othersYou warned me about the cocaine
Then dove straight in
Yeah, you warned me about the cocaine
Then dove straight inIn hiding, where there's more for you
(There's more for you)Standing on the shore, getting off
You left me here amid the vape clowns
I must admit I missed the mountain
But not so much you
One step forward
One step forward
One step forward
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps backStanding on the floor, facing you
I can't see you, your impermanence
This place is empty
Empty of youAnd if I see you, it's like nothing went wrong
Yeah, if we meet again tomorrow, just like nothing went wrong
But they...Erasing our chances just by asking "how do you sleep?"One step forward
One step forward
One step forward
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
