High as an elephant’s eye

Before we even left

And when the party had died

And as we drank the rest

I retrace my steps

Snowy basketball court

Cross the cold courthouse steps

Hanging on every word

Hearing everything you say as

I retrace my steps

I retrace my steps, I wear a lonely path

I retrace my steps and back

Woke up this afternoon

A pale sun in the west

I haven’t left my room

I haven’t taken a step

As I retrace my steps

I retrace my steps until no trace remains

And I’ll retrace my steps again

I’ll retrace my steps

Though I know we’re all saying ‘Goodbye’

You know, I’ll retrace my steps again, tonight

Tonight
