[Intro]
I gotta take one step back so I can move forward
Slow it down so I can get over it

[Verse 1]
Following the sound with the dirt up on my heels
A traveling heart so broken from the whispers in my ear
I swim the river gold, I chased the Milky Way
When life holds you back your heart will always find a way

[Chorus]
I gotta take one step back so I can move forward
Slow it down so I can get over it
I trip up, get all in my head
Start overthinking the moment
I gotta take one step back so I can move forward

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'll find love inside a stranger's eyes
Build a home with two dogs
Find a place to rest my mind
And if you're just like me (You're just like me)
And lost a little hope (Hope)
I promise you it takes one step to love yourself the most

[Chorus]
I gotta take one step back so I can move forward
Slow it down so I can get over it
I trip up, get all in my head
Start overthinking the moment
I gotta take one step back so I can move forward
[Bridge]
And when my time is up
I'll look around with pride
Knowing I did everything with you right by my side

[Chorus]
I had to take one step back so I can move forward
Slow it down so I can get over it
I trip up, get all in my head
Start overthinking the moment
I gotta take one step back so I can move forward
