Summers over, leaves are falling all around
The city's colder, my bones are sinking to the ground
We're three feet below now, I just can't dig myself out
You're so different now, tell me what you're really all about

Why, don't bother, just take this one step at a time
So you can find a reason to sleep at night
Why, don't even try, just take it once and make up your mind

War is over, we sleep inside each others dreams
We're getting older, closer and closer to the gun
Will we ever take a break from work and play
You do what you want now
But tell me what you're trying to say (still trying you can't get over me)

Why, don't bother, just take this one step at a time
So you can find a reason to sleep at night
Why, don't even try, just take it once and make up your mind

You said you said over and over again
You promised but you lied, you promised but this died
Dead to me and I'm dead to you, through the disguise you're looking through
You're so pathetic but what I would do
Just to touch you one last time, is that a crime, one last time

Why, don't bother, just take this one step at a time
So you can find a reason to sleep at night
Why, don't even try, just take it once and make up your mind
