One Foot Lyrics by fun.

Some Nights (Deluxe Edition)

2012

[Verse 1]
I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen
I can't help but love thinkin' that everyone doesn't get it
To my left there's a window (Where did I go?), my reflection just blends in to rows of clothes
And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless, and so

[Chorus]
I'll put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die
I'll put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die

[Verse 2]
I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night
And I can't help but back up when I think of what happens inside
I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live, but what you're callin' a sin isn't up to them
After all, after all I thought we were all your children

[Pre-Chorus]
But I will die for my own sins, thanks a lot
We will rise up ourselves, thanks for nothing at all
So up off the ground, our forefathers are nothing but dust now

[Chorus]
I'll put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die
I'll put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die

[Bridge]
Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth
I am over 25 and I can't make a name for myself, some nights I break down and cry
I'm lucky that my father's still alive
He's been fightin' all his life and if this is all I've ever known, then may his soul live on forever
In my song

[Chorus]
I'll put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die
I'll put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die

[Outro]
In front of the other one, in front of the other one
Just a better place to die
