Staircase by Amy Allen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met a girl last night and she reminded me of me
I was seventeen and fuckin' green
And for a minute I had it figured out
Now I'm driving through the valley lost
Thinkin', "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

[Chorus]
Maybe life is a goddamn staircase, you
Think you're close but you're so far away from
Bein' happy, but, man, that's okay, 'cause
We go up and come, down the same way like
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Hey, yeah, , yeah, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Hey, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
I bought a house in Venice
And I'm livin' 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 at 3AM last night thinkin'
[Chorus]
Maybe life is a goddamn staircase, you
Think you're close but you're so far away from
Bein' happy, but, man, that's okay, 'cause
We go up and come, down the same way like
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Hey, yeah, , yeah, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Hey, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus / Interlude]
Yeah, I'm just really feelin' like super fuckin' unhappy now
Yeah, she told me that you're out (Hahaha)
Yeah, you know, none of it matters, I just get so worked out by a lot of things
Everything, is done

[Outro]
Maybe life is a goddamn staircase, you
Think you're close but you're so far away from
Bein' happy, but, man, that's okay, 'cause
We go up and come, down the same way
