[Verse 1:]
It's the dim light that won't go out
The last reminder that you're still in doubt
Sometimes life just puts you in a chokehold
And you can't take a breath before you go cold
And you just might think you're too old
But your life is clay that fate molds
Like a fashion statement too bold
Like a cheapskate payment unsold
But you can't come out cause you're unborn
And you'd sell all your prizes for good porn
You know you're jaded and your life is invaded
But it keeps on going and you're gonna have to face it

[Post-Chorus:]
But fuck it
You know you just gotta slow down

[Chorus:]
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as she goes, 'cause you know that no one knows
But you gotta take it slow
Steady as the wind blows
Listen to the wind as it calls and ya fall
And you're gonna lose it all
Steady as the wind blows
It's comin' way too fast, you know you're never gonna last
No matter what questions you ask
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as she goes, but ya lost it
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as she goes, 'cause you know that no one knows
But you gotta take it slow
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as she goes, but ya lost it
[Verse 2:]
You find it 'cause it found you
But these moments, they confound you
It's changing all around you
You can't stop, it won't allow you
Someday it'll all make sense
It's a passing remark that you made in jest
But you know that you meant it, and you really are scared
It's just so demented, it's just not fair
You gotta look forward, stop looking behind you
You know won't work, and your friends do too
But they still act like they just don't care
You find you're relating to nobody there
Life is coming all too quickly
All that you knew is starting to go free
But you're still locked in the same place
And you are the only familiar face
Ugh!

[Chorus:]
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as she goes, 'cause you know that no one knows
But you gotta take it slow
Steady as the wind blows
Listen to the wind as it calls and ya fall
And you're gonna lose it all
Steady as the wind blows
It's comin' way too fast, you know you're never gonna last
No matter what questions you ask
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as she goes, but ya lost it
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as she goes, 'cause you know that no one knows
But you gotta take it slow
Steady as the wind blows
Listen to the wind as it calls and ya fall
And you're gonna lose it all
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as she goes, 'cause you know that no one knows
But you gotta take it slow
Steady as the wind blows
Steady as she goes, but ya lost it
[Outro:]
I've been thinking about things and to be honest I don't really want to
I remember being in a position at one point where I didn't have to worry about everything suddenly changing
And I remember thinking that if it did I wouldn't care
I know myself, I know I'm care-free, or I know that at one point in my life I was care-free
But looking ahead is sort of daunting because there's nothing to look at
I hear people around me act like moving on from all of your friends and going to places you don't know you even want to go to yet simply isn't a big deal, but I don't feel that way
I feel like I'm leaving behind my entire life
I feel like I'm living a totally new life that is completely unfamiliar territory
I feel like I'm going to miss people and I'm not going to get to say goodbye, because goodbyes are too sappy
So to whomever that may be, and I'm sure you will know just as I will who you are
Goodbye
I'm moving up, but I'm not moving on
