[Intro] (Take a step back, take a step back) It's all big talk until something happens The words mean nothing til they're followed by actions Keep your mouth moving but your body still You'll never hit the target if you're shooting empty shells Slow it down now And take a step back, take a step back Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count It's a shot in the dark, against all odds They said we'd never make it this far Well look at us now, we've found our way Life is what you make of it So make your faults, wonder what we could bend Looking back on all of this I wanna know I made the best Saving my rest for the grave Pulling out of pockets to show what we got Asleep at the wheel, dreaming and driving Rather hit rock bottom than be stuck second guessing They have the answers but they don't know the questions Make something happen We'll make mistakes and not learn our lessons Slow it down now And take a step back, take a step back Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count It's a shot in the dark, against all odds They said we'd never make it this far Well look at us now, we've found our way Life is what you make of it So make your faults, wonder what we could bend Looking back on all of this I wanna know I made the best Saving my rest for the grave Hey Hey! Slow it down now Hey, hey! Slow it down now We've got this under control Slow it down now And take a step back, take a step back Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count It's a shot in the dark, against all odds They said we'd never make it this far Well look at us now, we've found our way Life is what you make of it So make your faults, wonder what we could bend Looking back on all of this I wanna know I made the best Saving my rest for the grave
