Lyrics
A Step Behind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not so much that you left
It's that you didn't come back
It's not the pain that you felt
But the obvious lack
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
It wasn't watching you go
But the way that you went
With a kiss on the cheek
And a cheque for the rent
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
It wasn't really your fault
Because you made it mine too
While you were looking around
I was looking at you
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
And I hope you remember
when it comes around
The gentle release
of letting me down
And the way that it felt
To be high on yourself
Blindly running into the new
I haven't re-learned to walk
It's hard to learn that
And it wasn't the fall
It was the push in the back
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
I didn't see it coming up
from behind
I was always a step behind
