[Verse 1]
I'm around the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under the bridge in a rip tide
That's taken everything I call my own
[Chorus]
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
[Verse 2]
I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, now I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing
[Chorus]
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing
[Verse 3]
I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing
[Chorus]
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing, to knowing
I'm around the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under the bridge in a rip tide
That's taken everything I call my own
[Chorus]
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
[Verse 2]
I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, now I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing
[Chorus]
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing
[Verse 3]
I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing
[Chorus]
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing, to knowing
