"One step forward and two steps back Nobody gets too far like that One step forward and two steps back" Life sometimes seems like that: The steps that take you back, take You back to childhood; take you back To hidden fears and phantom failures, That never happened, yet seem so real. Nobody gets too far like that; Yet that's what life is - One step forward and two steps back. And yet; sometimes two steps forward, Followed by one step back, Takes me a little closer to happiness. Two steps forward: I can tango with that, Just one step backwards then Two steps forward in the dance of life; I could go a long way on that. Two steps forward and one step back.
