Frank Turner
Least of All Young Caroline (Early Version)
[Verse 1]
Amber slipped away last night
Jim's still in the hospital
With everything we went through last year
Now it's a serious kick in the balls
None of us need this
Least of all young Caroline
Child, I'd be lying if I told you everything would be fine

[Chorus]
Caroline I know things are desperate but everything will get better in the end
Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again

[Verse 2]
Carol's parents built her up
Then they let her slip on by
Now she's got scars on her legs that she can't explain
From when she disappeared that night
She said she's not a little girl any more
And her hands, they don't need holding much
The girl I met in '99, she occasionally needs some touch

[Chorus]
Caroline I know things are desperate but everything will work out in the end
Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
Every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
[Verse 3]
Sometimes blood is visceral
Sometimes it's just water
Sometimes my family are the people I was born with
Sometimes they are the people I've fought for
People who have fought for me
To help me just to stay alive
Yeah family are the people you nod and smile to when you're trying to survive

[Chorus]
Caroline I know things are desperate but things will get better in the end
Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
Caroline I know things are desperate but things will get better in the end
Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
Every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
Every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
Every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
