Lyrics
Footdown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In a little while
I'll forget your name
and with the time we had
I will do the same
'cause I can't belong
to any future
the past's a
never ending overture
until it's only now
no matter how
I put my foot down
I want to know my rank
and I want my reward
or I will make a little war
that you can not afford
I don't mean to be
somehow unkind
but the bottom of my heart
is in the backseat
of my mind
it's a drive with will
I guess until
I put my foot down
I don't mean to be
somehow unkind
but when I put
my best foot forward
something's left behind
I'm gonna tell you now
I'm going to make a vow
to put my foot down
