[Intro]
Where was I when God had shown
How to make a happy home?
And where was I when God had shown
How to make a happy home?
God, make

[Verse 1]
Lie in bed and sleep don't come
Have some peace, then give me some
And I know the reason why you hold me down
I won't let this fear of loss make me drown

In my bed, I lie alone
Scrape together bone to bone
And I can't seem to seem to find my way
I can't seem to find the break of day

[Chorus]
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away

[Verse 2]
Where was I when God had shown
How to make a happy home?
And I have become my worst enemy
I will survive this instability
In my bed, I lie alone
Scrape together bone to bone
Again, I have become my worst enemy
I will survive this instability

[Chorus]
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away

[Verse 3]
I need to breathe the breath of life
You constantly drain my life
Why can't you see the breath in me?
I constantly need your feed
My butterfly don't fly away
My butterfly don't fly away
My butterfly don't fly away
My butterfly don't fly away

[Bridge]
If I could just take this simple breath of life from me
You couldn't take it, motherfucker, eternity
If I could take this breath of life and come inside of me
You wouldn't take it, I need to breathe
[Verse 4]
As I creep, the monkey's back
Now she's gone and, oh, he's back
And I know the reason why you hold me down
I won't let this fear of loss make me drown

In my bed, I lie alone
Scrape together bone to bone
And I can't seem to seem to find my way
I can't seem to find the break of day

[Chorus]
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away
I'll stay just a step away

[Outro]
I will stay, I'll stay a step away
I will stay, I'll stay a step away
I will stay, I'll stay
I will stay, I'll stay
