Seven Steps Behind You Lyrics

Lightning love affair

We walk into the storm

By the haunted houses

We used to run past them

Now I look in the window

And I feel your breath beside me

Loosening my grip

I watch you fall away completely

And I was seven steps behind you

Trying to catch up

If I reach out and try to touch you

Would that be enough?

Reckless runaway

I dreamt that I was drowning

You stood on the shore

Didn't notice my arms flailing

When I went underwater

Saw a face I don't remember

She told me you don't love me

Just want to love somebody

And I was seven steps behind you

Begging for your love

If I reach out and try to hold you

Will it keep me up?

You said you were afraid of fire

Said you'd rather drown

And I follow you agreeing with

The things you talk about

And all the running in the world

Doesn't change the fact that

I'm always seven steps behind

Oh, I'm always holding on so tight

Lightning love affair

It's six in the morning

We walk into the storm

Just to watch it pouring

By the haunted houses

I stop by the window

And you just keep on walking

Do you notice that I'm always

Seven steps behind you, honey

No matter what I do

And I loved you first, I love you last

So I stay catching up to you
