Michael Penn - Footdown Lyrics

In a little while

I'll forget your name

and with the time we had

I will do the same

'cause I can't belong

to any future

the past's a

never ending overture

until it's only now

no matter how

I put my foot down

I want to know my rank

and I want my reward

or I will make a little war

that you can not afford

I don't mean to be

somehow unkind

but the bottom of my heart

is in the backseat

of my mind

it's a drive with will

I guess until

I put my foot down

I don't mean to be

somehow unkind

but when I put

my best foot forward

something's left behind

I'm gonna tell you now

I'm going to make a vow

to put my foot down
