One Step Up

© 2011 by Eric Dahl

I

Disappointment wearing
Worn-out shoes,
You’re not talking
But it’s on the news.
Someone’s gotta pay,
Heads are gonna roll,
Even the sacrificial victim
can’t save a soul.

Why don’t you trust me tonight
To know what’s wrong and do what’s right?
You don’t have to fight it,
You can rise up some other day.

It’s one step up, two steps back
After love knocks you down
Like a heart attack.
What lifts us up
Is the selfishness and sorrow
Falling away.

II

This neon night is real, now is now,
Show you how to walk
If you wanna know how.
There’s a doorway round the corner
Where I fell on my face,
You know I never think about it
When I walk past that place.

Why don’t you trust me tonight
To know what’s wrong and do what’s right?
The scene running through your head
Is one you never play.

One step up, two steps back
After love knocks you down
Like a heart attack.
What lifts us up
Is the selfishness and sorrow
Falling away.

One step up, two steps back
After love knocks you down
Like a heart attack.
What lifts us up
Is the selfishness and sorrow
Falling away.

It’s one step up,
One step up,
Take one step up,
One step up.
