Footdown Lyrics - Michael Penn

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
