about

There are two milestone moments that come in the aftermath of a romantic relationship. There’s the moment you decide it’s really over, and then months—maybe years—later, the moment you finally feel like yourself again. ‘Two Steps Back’ sees Ryland Fisher writing about the excruciating in-between. The production of this country heartache ballad is simple- made up of guitars and synthesizers, but the sentiment hits deep and every lyric will resonate with anyone who’s been through a breakup.

lyrics

Every morning when I wake up
I ain’t thinking ‘bout you
Then I pour a cup of coffee
At a kitchen table for two
And it’s one more reminder
Of the best damn thing I ever had
And it’s one step forward
And two steps back

Then I’ll shake you off my mind
Get lost somewhere in the day
And make it through the hours
Till it’s 5 o'clock someplace
And I’ll buy the bar a round
Your song comes on, and just like that
I’m one step forward
And two steps back

To another time, one more time retracing who we used to be
Replaying the same damn broken record rewinding on repeat
On my way to moving on, but sure as hell ain’t getting there fast
I’m always one step forward
And two steps back

Ain’t always in the right direction
Now and then I fall along the way
Stuck in some old memory
I’m still waiting on time to fade
These miles only getting longer
Wish these wheels would stay on track
For every one step forward
I’m two steps back

To another time, one more time retracing who we used to be
Replaying the same damn broken record rewinding on repeat
On my way to moving on, but sure as hell ain’t getting there fast
Goodbye don’t come with a map
So it’s always one step forward
And two steps back
Yeah for every one step forward
I’m two steps back
