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]



[Solo]



You got a lot of nerve

Now show a little backbone why don't you



[Chorus x3]
