Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
From the time I was born, through all of my days
Try to catch my breath
Out of the womb and into the flames
Searchin' for the neon path
I've been waitin' my whole life
In the crossfire, yeah
I've been hidin' my whole life
In the crossfire, yeah, the crossfire
[Verse 3]
Every time I move, every step that I take
Everywhere I look, it's right in front of my face
One foot in the shadows, one foot on the brakes
One foot towards the gallows
Where it's quiet and safe
[Verse 4]
Every step that I take (Oh-oh-oh)
Every step that I take (Oh-oh-oh)
Every step that I take
Step that I take
Every step that I take
[Verse 5]
Lost in the motions, locked in the safe
Tryin' to forget the key
And I know where I lost it, but I'll never say
One day it was taken from me
I've been waitin' my whole life
In the crossfire, yeah
I've been hidin' my whole life
In the crossfire, yeah, the crossfire
[Verse 6]
Every time I move, every step that I take
Everywhere I look, it's right in front of my face
One foot in the shadows, one foot on the brakes
One foot towards the gallows
Where it's quiet and safe
[Verse 7]
Every step that I take (Oh-oh-oh)
Every step that I take (Oh-oh-oh)
Every step that I take
Step that I take
Every step that I
Step that I take
Every step that I take
[Verse 8]
Every step that I take
Every step that I take, take, take, take
Every step that I take
[Verse 9]
Every time I move, every step that I take
Everywhere I look, it's right in front of my face
One foot in the shadows, one foot on the brakes
Can't shake this voice that keeps callin' my name
Every step that I take (Oh-oh-oh)
Every step that I take (Oh-oh-oh)
Every step that I take (Oh-oh-oh)
Every step that I take
