[Verse 1]
Late at night
It's kind of early for making promises
But I'll try to keep them all
So when it's hard and when it's easier
And when it's adventurous
I just need to know you know, you know

[Chorus]
I was standing at the staircase
Staring into space, I thought I had it all
Just try to do it your way
You'll make a lot of friends
You'll make a lot of foes

[Verse 2]
On your own
It can be easier to do things for a while
But these traps don't catch their own
So with all this distraction
And with all of my empty words
I will give you all of my soldier's hearts

[Chorus]
I was standing at the staircase
Staring into space I thought I had it all
Just try to do it your way
You'll make a lot of friends
You'll make a lot of foes
Standing at the staircase
Staring into space, I thought I had it
[Bridge]
So I'll climb a little higher
And I'll reach a little closer to you
I'll step a little higher
'Cause you said it's not over

[Chorus]
I was standing at the staircase
Staring into space, I thought I had it all
Just try to do it your way
You'll make a lot of friends
You'll make a lot of foes
Now I'm standing at the staircase
Staring into space I thought I had it all
Just try to do it your way
I've made a lot of friends
I've made a lot of foes
