Take A Step Back Lyrics
(Take a step back, take a step back)
It's all big talk until something happens
The words mean nothing til they're followed by actions
Keep your mouth moving but your body still
You'll never hit the target if you're shooting empty shells
Slow it down now,
And take a step back, take a step back
Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count
It's a shot in the dark, against all odds
They said we'd never make it this far
Well look at us now, we've found our way
Life is what you make of it
So make your faults, wonder what we could bend
Looking back on all of this,
I wanna know I made the best
Saving my rest for the grave
Pulling out of pockets to show what we got
Asleep at the wheel, dreaming and driving
Rather hit rock bottom than be stuck second guessing
They have the answers but they don't know the questions
Make something happen
We'll make mistakes and not learn our lessons
Slow it down now,
And take a step back, take a step back
Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count
It's a shot in the dark, against all odds
They said we'd never make it this far
Well look at us now, we've found our way
Life is what you make of it
So make your faults, wonder what we could bend
Looking back on all of this,
I wanna know I made the best
Saving my rest for the grave
Hey Hey!
Slow it down now
Hey, hey!
Slow it down now
We've got this under control
Slow it down now,
And take a step back, take a step back
Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count
It's a shot in the dark, against all odds
They said we'd never make it this far
Well look at us now, we've found our way
Life is what you make of it
So make your faults, wonder what we could bend
Looking back on all of this,
I wanna know I made the best
Saving my rest for the grave
The words mean nothing til they're followed by actions
Keep your mouth moving but your body still
You'll never hit the target if you're shooting empty shells
And take a step back, take a step back
Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count
They said we'd never make it this far
Well look at us now, we've found our way
Life is what you make of it
So make your faults, wonder what we could bend
Looking back on all of this,
I wanna know I made the best
Saving my rest for the grave
Asleep at the wheel, dreaming and driving
Rather hit rock bottom than be stuck second guessing
They have the answers but they don't know the questions
We'll make mistakes and not learn our lessons
And take a step back, take a step back
Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count
They said we'd never make it this far
Well look at us now, we've found our way
Life is what you make of it
So make your faults, wonder what we could bend
Looking back on all of this,
I wanna know I made the best
Saving my rest for the grave
Slow it down now
Hey, hey!
Slow it down now
We've got this under control
And take a step back, take a step back
Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count
They said we'd never make it this far
Well look at us now, we've found our way
Life is what you make of it
So make your faults, wonder what we could bend
Looking back on all of this,
I wanna know I made the best
Saving my rest for the grave

hes saying live life without regrets "So make your faults, wonder what we could bend" and you never know because greatness could come from it "It's a shot in the dark, against all odds. They said we'd never make it this far. Well look at us now, we've found our way"
yeah its just a bunch of young guys living their lives to the fullest
Am I the only one in the world who hears "so many of us wonder what we could have been" instead of "so make your faults, wonder what we could bend?" Everywhere I go it says bend, but doesn't "wonder what we could have been" make more sense? I digress.
It's about doing what you can with the time you have and saving your rest for the grave. Simple as that.
i think the same thing. im seeing them in october so i plan to ask dave. because i really loved it until i looked it up and saw the bend thing.

No, "bend" makes more sense. The songs about not wondering what you could have been, so he wouldn't be saying to do that, lol.
no way, i'm with awesomexplosion. i hear "so many of us wonder what we could have been".
as in, so many people look back on their lives with regret, but he's going to make the most of his life while he's still young.
