[Verse 1]
I’m only one step ahead of heartbreak
One step ahead of misery
One step is all I have to take
Backwards to be the same old fool for you
I used to be

[Chorus]
I’m only one step ahead of your arms
One kiss away from your sweet lips
I know I can’t afford to stop
For one moment
Oh cause I’m out of reach of your fingertips

[Verse 2]
Your one 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

[Chorus 2]
I’m only one step ahead of your love
I try and yet I can’t take two
Seems like I have to take that one
Step backwards cause one step ahead is a step too far away from you
Cause one step ahead is a step too far away from you
Just one step ahead is a step too far away from you
You
One step ahead is a step too far away from you
