She said "If I could just rewind go back a few
Maybe fix a thing or two I wish I knew"
But time's a stubborn shadow won't play fair
Still she hoped that somehow it'd meet her there

Ten steps back watch the shadow crawl
Time's a trick but it don't stop at all
You can't outrun what's in its track
But sometimes life gives you ten steps back

I said "We all chase shadows thinking they'll stay
But the sun keeps movin' it won't wait our way"
Still there's moments when the light bends low
And those ten steps back show you what you didn't know

Ten steps back watch the shadow crawl
Time's a trick but it don't stop at all
You can't outrun what's in its track
But sometimes life gives you ten steps back

Sometimes it's the light that plays the game
What you thought was lost might still remain
The shadow shifts but don't lose track
'Cause every now and then you get those ten steps back

So if you find yourself stuck in the fight
Chasing shadows in the fading light
Just remember when the path turns black
Life's been known to give those ten steps back

Ten steps back watch the shadow crawl
Time's a trick but it don't stop at all
You can't outrun what's in its track
But sometimes life gives you ten steps back
