It's not so much that you left

it's that you didn't come back

It's not the pain that you felt

but the obvious ?



i was always a step behind

i was always a step behind



I wasn't watching you go

but the way that you went

with a kiss on the cheek

and a cheque for the rent



i was always a step behind

i was always a step behind



It wasn't really your fault

cos you made it mine too

while you were lookin' around

i was lookin' at you



i was always a step behind

i was always a step behind



The gentle release

of laying me down

and the way that it felt

to be high on yourself

finally waiting into the muse (?)



[guitar solo]



I haven't re-learned to walk

it's hard to learn now

and it wasn't the fall

it was the pushing it back



i was always a step behind

i was always a step behind



oooh i didn't see it comin' from behind

i was always a step behind
