Once upon a time I was somebody else In another life, I saw myself Way back then, back when I was you
Somewhere down the line I started to slip Years gone by, biting my lip All the while, all this time I knew
Now your on your own, one for the pages Over the hill and through the ages Does my heaven burn like hell on you?
Out beneath the cracks and coming in waves Rolling like an earthquake under the pavement Heavy now, tell me Mr. Truth
You got a lot of nerve Now show a little backbone why don't you
[Chorus]: I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you Are you feeling the same as I do now and now and then? I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you Are you feeling the same as I do? Down and out
Holding my breath I waited and waited How'd the simple life get so complicated? Shoes to fill, secrets to spill down you
Deer in the headlights, spoke in the wheel You want pretend I need for real I'm taking it back, all my IOU's
You got a lot of nerve Now show a little backbone why don't you
[Chorus]
You got a lot of nerve Now show a little backbone why don't you
