One Step Behind You

i'm moving

i'm not going to rest till i find you

i'm following one step behind you

i'll do what i do to remind you

i'm following one step..

i've been keeping strange hours, i've been saying strange things

i've been places where i should not go

but i catch conversations that feature your name

and my ears and my eyes never close

i've been all of the places where you used to be

and your friends don't remember my face

i don't know if you wonder what's happening to me

i don't vanish that easy, i'll make you believe me

i'm moving...

did the voice sound familiar on the landing below

are the footsteps behind you like mine

you're a thought in my head i could never let go

and that thought takes up all of my time

swallowed up by obsessions that can't be denied

i can't find out what's right and what's wrong

swallowed up by the whirlpoos of colours at night

oh, please show me no mercy, my reason deserts me

i'm moving...

there's so many people that you knew

to understand everything you do

you're too far ahead now to need them

they live on the streets, you can't see them

the small and the crushed and the helpless

the weak and the cruel and the useless

they're following one step behind you
