One Step

My love life’s one of

Holding on too long

Hoping my gut would be wrong

I can’t speak for you

But I think you’re a crossroads

Am I just your direction sign?

Maybe it’s my mistake

I know your history

How quickly you can be desensitized

No matter who’s to blame?

At least one of us should have stopped

If we ever thought anything was wrong

 

You know the truth

You know my past

You know how my heart was broken

Would you dare break it back?

 

One step at a time
Our backs to the flames

A thread and sky at our feet

And nothing but darkness ahead

I take the risks gladly

 

We were kindred souls

Who didn’t foresee

That night or the many since

My heart was in pain

Although I didn’t have a clue

You forced me to feel every ache

There was no other way

If I wanted feel

And get past the numbness I didn’t know

But I’m so curious

About your feelings through all this

No matter what you share you still hold on

 

You hold the key

I want to take

To unlock the intangible

Treasures inside your mind

 

One step at a time
Our backs to the flames

A thread and sky at our feet

And nothing but darkness ahead

I take the risks gladly

 

I don’t make plans for the future

The next hour is too far ahead

But at my core I itch to understand

What I never have the need to know

 

One step at a time
Our backs to the flames

A thread and sky at our feet

And nothing but darkness ahead

I take the risks gladly
