Intro:
Step one, I need to be done
With all that I&#039;ve done and
All that I&#039;m doing
Step two, I need to find out
The things that have made me
Broken
I need some time to realize
that I&#039;ve been dead
I&#039;m dead
I need to find another reason
To believe I&#039;m wanted
Step three, you want to be free
So empty your hands and pay
What you owe me
Step four, they wanna get more
But all I can give is worthless
I need some time to realize
That I&#039;ve been dead
I&#039;m dead
I need to find another reason
To believe I&#039;m wanted
Just hold on
Pull out the horses
Pull out the horses, baby
Take your time
No looking back now
Try to be present, baby
Just hold on
Pull out the horses
Pull out the horses, baby
Take your time
No looking back now
Try to be present, baby
Bridge:
We all think that we&#039;re invincible
And we assume that we&#039;re
Gonna live forever
But far too often
Life reminds us that
That&#039;s not the case
You know, we all have plans
And goals in life
But sometimes
Life takes us down a different road
So,   life is short
Work just a little less
Spend more time together
Because spending time together
As a family is
One of the most important
Things we have
I need some time to realize
That I&#039;ve been dead
I&#039;m dead
I need to find another reason
To believe I&#039;m wanted
Just hold on
Pull out the horses
Pull out the horses, baby
Take your time
No looking back now
Try to be present, baby
Just hold on
Pull out the horses
Pull out the horses, baby
Take your time
No looking back now
Try to be present, baby
Bridge:
No looking back now
Try to be present, baby
