Left Foot Stepdown
A Band of Bees/The Bees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tremble down if your love
Crumbles down for my love
The pressure's down when your love
Lifts me up to the moon like a dove

When your feelings get put to the ground
You can do the left foot stepdown
Do yourself some right

If you're being held back with the crowd
You can do the left foot stepdown
Do yourself some right

The word is love when your life
Needs to be full of light
And when the sun meets the night
Prepare yourself for the world and the fight

When your feelings get put to the ground
You can do the left foot stepdown
Do yourself some right

If you're being held back with the crowd
You can do the left foot stepdown
Do yourself some right

Now you found out your sound
Don't be too proud to turn around
Don't let it pass, it's here to last
Raise it up like a flag on the mast

When your feelings get put to the ground
You can do the left foot stepdown
Do yourself some right

If you're being held back with the crowd
You can do the left foot stepdown
Do yourself some right

When your feelings get put to the ground
You can do the left foot stepdown
Do yourself some right

If you're being held back with the crowd




You can do the left foot stepdown
Do yourself some right
