One Foot In Front Of The Other

Bright Eyes

If you walk away, I'll walk away 
First tell me which road you will take 
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day 
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way 
And the future hangs over our heads 
And it moves with each current event 
Until it falls around like a cold, steady rain 
Just stay in when it's looking this way 
And the moon's laying low in the sky 
Forcing everything metal to shine 
And the sidewalk holds diamonds, 
Like a jewlery store case 
They argue walk this way, now walk this way 
And Laura's asleep in my bed 
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says, 
"I dreamed you were carried away, 
On the crest of a wave. Baby, don't go away. 
Come here." 
And this kid's playing guns in the street 
And one's pointing his tree branch at me 
So I put my hands up, I say "Enough is enough. 
If you walk away, I'll walk away." 
And he shot me dead 
I found a liquid cure 
For my land-locked blues 
It will pass away, like a slow parade 
It's leaving, but I don't know how soon 
And the world stopped me dizzy again 
You'd think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin 
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place 
So I'm always pacing around, 
Or walking away 
And I'm drinking the ink from my pen 
And I'm balancing history books up on my head 
And it all boils down to one quotable phrase 
"If you love something, give it away." 
A good woman would pick you apart 
A box full of suggestions for a possible heart 
And you may be offended, you may be afraid 
But don't walk away, don't walk away 
We made love on the living room floor 
With the noise in the background
