Lyrics

One Foot

[Verse 1]

I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen

I can't help but love thinkin' that everyone doesn't get it

To my left there's a window (Where did I go?), my reflection just blends in to rows of clothes

And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless, and so

[Chorus]

I'll put one foot in front of the other one

I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die

I'll put one foot in front of the other one

I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die

[Verse 2]

I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night

And I can't help but back up when I think of what happens inside

I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live, but what you're callin' a sin isn't up to them

After all, after all I thought we were all your children

[Pre-Chorus]

But I will die for my own sins, thanks a lot

We will rise up ourselves, thanks for nothing at all

So up off the ground, our forefathers are nothing but dust now

[Chorus]

I'll put one foot in front of the other one

I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die

I'll put one foot in front of the other one

I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die

[Bridge]

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth

I am over 25 and I can't make a name for myself, some nights I break down and cry

I'm lucky that my father's still alive

He's been fightin' all his life and if this is all I've ever known, then may his soul live on forever

In my song

[Chorus]

I'll put one foot in front of the other one

I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die

I'll put one foot in front of the other one

I don't need a new love or a new life, just a better place to die

[Outro]

In front of the other one, in front of the other one

Just a better place to die

    Which Bleachers album should you start with if you know Jack Antonoff as a producer?

    Start with ‘Strange Desire’, then follow Jack Antonoff’s route from immediate synth-pop catharsis to the full-band scale of Bleachers’ later records.
