Back Step
rich people Lyrics

I always start to finish just before you start to come up
I am always one step ahead of you, knowing that you are about to start something new, so I finish before you have a chance to catch up.

I'm at the top of the staircase as your elevator catches up
I am in a position of power, above you, while you are still trying to climb the ranks, using your elevator as a shortcut.

If you're ever looking up and see that I'm falling down
If you ever see me fail or make a mistake, don't judge me too harshly or revel in my downfall.

Please don't just me for the noise just remember the sound
Don't ridicule me for the chaos or noise that may come with my failure, but remember the lessons to be learned from it.

If you knew what's in my head you probably wouldn't be so impressed
If you could see the thoughts and doubts in my mind, you may not be as in awe of me as you think you are.

We were downstairs I was up in my head
We were physically together, but mentally I was lost in my own thoughts and concerns.

Convincing myself that we weren't sewn from the same thread
I believed that we were fundamentally different and not cut from the same cloth, despite any shared experiences or similarities.

I was wrong the shell was all misaligned
I was mistaken, realizing that our outward appearances and behaviors did not line up with our true selves.

So I back-stepped the seam and told myself I'd be fine
To remedy this misalignment, I took a step back, reevaluated, and reassured myself that I would be able to move forward.

Love is cool
Love is fascinating and enjoyable.

Love is fine
Love is acceptable and satisfactory.

Love is wondering if I have the time
Love can be uncertain and may require a commitment of time and energy.

But I was wrong, and it took so long
Despite my initial beliefs and assumptions, I came to realize my error, although it was a long and difficult process.
