Appear and fade away
So far so good
And I'll tell you the story this time

Plan too far ahead
It's the same old thing
Finally kicking it out this time

Tell me where were you?
Now just where were you
When it really mattered like this time?

Staring down a haze
It's supposed to be a better day
But it doesn't really matter, not this time

Step back, step back
Just suppose you're
Where you're supposed to be now

Step back, step down
Off that pedestal
And maybe you'll see

Like that time we went back in time
Surface wounds could not scar that
Tough exterior, far superior were you

Appear and fade away
So far so good
And I'll tell you the story this time

Planned too far ahead
It's the same old thing
Finally kicking it out this time
