Oliver Southgate - Step Back
lyrics
Everything's at a faster pace these days
Memories of an easy life are a haze
Someone can take it all away
Deal with it all another day

My creative streak is locked up in a cage
I want to let it out and let it earn me a wage
I need some west coast sun, should I move to LA
You need lots of money to be a hippy today

I need to step back

Looking at the stars but they don't seem to care
What's happening down here there and everywhere
Jack had it right I see him sitting on the beach
He's playing his guitar the waves are lapping at his feet

Not a care in the world he so chilled out
He's got a grip on what it's all about
Is there space for two? If I can find my way
Cos I'm at a place I don't want to be at today

I need to step back, I need some time to relax
Zone out for a minute or two, Take a little time, figure what to do
I need to step back, I need some time to relax
Zone out for a minute or two, Take a little time, figure what to do

Trouble going on in the world today
People building bombs if they don't get their way
Will it ever change, will the war be won
Even nations bully others when they got a bigger gun

All I've got is a pocket full of dreams
I want to make a change it's not as easy as it seems
We all feel we could lend a hand somewhere down the line but we're
Distracted by so many things that take up all our time

I need to step back, I need some time to relax
Zone out for a minute or two, Take a little time, figure what to do
I need to step back, I need some time to relax
Zone out for a minute or two, Take a little time, figure what to do

I've got these 4 chords and a pocket full of dreams
I want to make a change it's not as easy as it seems
