Seven Steps Behind You

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
