Night after night

Two steps forward five steps back
Is it something that i lack
That's keeping me from having full control?
Go ten feet then go a mile, thinking is this all worth while?
I better pick it up before i lose

Here we come. there we go.
Night after night. show after show.
Seeking sense. pull us in.
Fight after fight. blow after blow.

Final battles never won. going in with loaded guns
Maybe i don't have artillery
At first, i thought i was so right.
I'm thinking now give up the fight.
I better stop ahead before i lose.
