Intro:

Verse 1:

                         
I'm only one step ahead of heart-break,
                
 One step ahead of mise-ry.
                            
 One step is all I have to take, backwards,
                                             (n.)
To be the same old fool for you, I used to be.

Verse 2:

                        
I'm only one step ahead of your arms,
                       
 One kiss away from your sweet lips.
                                    
 I know I can't af-ford to stop, for one moment,
                                            , 
'Cos I'm just out of reach of your fingertips.

Bridge 1:

                 
 Your warm breath on my shoulder,
                
 Keeps reminding me,
          
That it's too soon to forget you,
                     
It's too late to be free,
             
Can't you see?

Verse 3:

                        
I'm only one step ahead of your love,
                    
 I try and yet I can't take two.

 Seems like I'll have,
                   
To take that one step backwards...

Coda:

     
'Cos one step ahead,
                             
Is a step too far away from you.
     
'Cos one step ahead,
                             
Is a step too far away from you.
