One Foot
Walk The Moon Lyrics

Not a soul up ahead and nothing behind
There is no one in sight and nothing to leave behind.

There's a desert in my blood and a storm in your eyes
I feel dry and desolate inside while I see chaos and passion in your gaze.

Am I the king of nothing at all?
Do I rule over an empty kingdom?

Then you're the queen of nothing at all
If I am a king with no possessions, then you must also have nothing to rule over as a queen.

Well I remember the fight and I forget the pain
I still recall the battle but the pain seems to have faded from my memory.

I got my hand in your pocket and my key on your chain
I have taken ownership of you by putting myself in your possession and having control over your possessions.

Oh, through the wilderness
We are journeying through unknown territory.

You and I we're walking through the emptiness
We are wandering through the void together.

Oh, my heart is a mess
My emotions are chaotic and disorganized.

Is it the only defense against the wilderness?
Are my confused emotions the only thing that will protect me from the unknown wilderness?

Cross my heart and hope to die
I swear on my life and hope to be punished if I break my promise.

Taking this one step at a time
We are only moving forward slowly and cautiously.

Got your back if you got mine
If you have my back, I will also have yours.

One foot in front of the other
We are making progress slowly but surely.

All that we have is each other
Our only possessions and support system is each other.

Not a soul on the road, not a star in the sky
There is complete emptiness around us.

It's a desert in my heart, and I know where to hide
I feel barren inside and have also found a way to protect myself from others.

I'm your king of nothing at all
I may seem like a ruler with no realm, but I still hold power over you.

And you're my queen of nothing at all
You also hold no official power but still have influence over me.

Well, out here in the dust if you don't have trust
In this barren wasteland, trust is necessary to survive.

Ain't nothing left of us, this is the exodus
We have lost everything and are forced to leave it all behind to start anew.

They're just testing us, they can't flex with us
Others are trying to push and challenge us but they cannot break us.

They can't mess with us, they can't mess with us
Our resilience and strength will not allow others to harm us.

How come even together there can be loneliness?
Even though we are together, we can still feel isolated and alone.

But it's our only defense to brave the wilderness
Our only way to protect ourselves from the harsh wilderness is to stick together and endure it together.

In the so-called Land of the Free
This line is addressing the fact that even in a country with the motto 'Land of the Free,' there is still emptiness and desolation.

Don't you know that all we have is each other
Our only means of survival and support is each other.
