Staircase Songtext
von Amy Allen

I met a girl last night and she reminded me of me
I was seventeen and fucking green
And for a minute, I had it figured out
Now I′m driving through the valley lost
Thinking, "How much did it cost to get here?"
4.59 A gallon
Don't know how the hell this happened

Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
It′s not at all what I imagined


Maybe life is a goddamn staircase
You think you're close, but you're so far away
From being happy, but, man, that′s okay
′Cause we go up and come down the same way
Like mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Hey, yeah
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Hey, yeah

I bought a house in Venice
And I'm living on the second floor
Guess I′m closer to Heaven
Now I miss my sisters twice as much
And every day that passes by
I'm scared to live and scared to die
I wanna laugh, I wanna cry
I woke up at 3 AM last night thinking

Maybe life is a goddamn staircase
You think you′re close, but you're so far away
From being happy, but, man, that′s okay
'Cause we go up and come down the same way
Like mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Hey, yeah
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Hey, yeah


Yeah, I've just been feeling, like, super fucking unhappy, you know?
Yeah, she told me to chill out
I know, none of it matters
I just get so worked up about dumb things
Everything is dumb

Maybe life is a goddamn staircase
You think you′re close, but you′re so far away
From being happy, but, man, that's okay
′Cause we go up and come down the same way
