Not a soul up ahead and nothing behind There's a desert in my blood and a storm in your eyes Am I the king of nothing at all? Then you're the queen of nothing at all Well I remember the fight and I forget the pain I got my hand in your pocket and my key on your chain Am I the king of nothing at all? Then you're the queen of nothing at all Oh, through the wilderness You and I we're walking through the emptiness Oh, my heart is a mess Is it the only defense against the wilderness? Cross my heart and hope to die Taking this one step at a time Got your back if you got mine One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other All that we have is each other One foot in front of the other Not a soul on the road, not a star in the sky It's a desert in my heart, and I know where to hide I'm your king of nothing at all And you're my queen of nothing at all Well, out here in the dust if you don't have trust Ain't nothing left of us, this is the exodus They're just testing us, they can't flex with us They can't mess with us, they can't mess with us Oh, through the wilderness How come even together there can be loneliness? Oh, our heart's a mess But it's our only defense to brave the wilderness Cross my heart and hope to die Taking this one step at a time I got your back if you got mine One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other (Wilderness) One foot in front of the other All that we have is each other One foot in front of the other (Well, out here in the dust) Oh, through the wilderness How come even together there can be loneliness? Oh, our heart's a mess But it's our only defense to brave the wilderness Cross my heart and hope to die Taking this one step at a time I got your back if you got mine One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other (Wilderness) One foot in front of the other Oh, all that we have is each other One foot in front of the other In the so-called Land of the Free One foot in front of the other Don't you know that all we have is each other One foot in front of the other
