Watch Your Step

In a Heartbeat

In the smallest movement of your hand

In a silence

In the wonderful cover of night

Under blankets and sheets where I sat at your feet in that intoxicating place

Where desired unspoken and speak

with the dull hear the blue off the muted TV

lines we've drawn and let down

cause we can just stand down to reason

In this moment

With a force-field of brazen uncertainty

In a friend's house

In the living room by shaky candlelight

Waiting on a friend to leave

Now your legs lay around my lap

My hands rest on your knees

Pendulum pulse in my ears like a drunken symphony

On a fence stumbling beside you to reunite this task and treaty

with courage and clumsiness with bravery and stupidity

Woah! You gotta watch your step!

You're breaking a heart, baby how can what you get

Woah! You gotta watch your step!

As your moving past moments that I cannot forget

So bade your actions and holding your debts

Under time that we sold between loss and regret!

There's an album in my head of the songs that we sang

I can't quite get the verse and the chorus seems tame

Every other day or so I google image search your name

But there's only one picture and it's always the same

I have memorized the lyrics

I've downloaded the sound .mp3

Printed out the bass tabs

Fed my way around the key

I'm working on a version to jog your memory

Although, maybe a jog sounds ambitious,

Maybe we should stop,

Woah! You better watch your step!

You're breaking a heart, baby, how can one you get

Woah! You better watch your step!

As you're moving past moments that I cannot forget,

Woah! You better watch your step!

You better watch your step!
