One Step Ahead

LETRA

One Step Ahead

How can you be so certain
That you're the one flirting with fire
If each choir needs preaching and everyone's reaching
Into their pockets to see what they got
If not a lot has changed but if everything's changing
Blame to see you sin
But no one sees face-to-face or eye-to-eye
This is not how it has to end

Who wants to be one step ahead
First to the punchline
Just one step ahead
First to the punchline

When it feels like it's all closing in
All the lines we won't cross, we'll bend instead
Never mind all the noise going through your head, oh
'Cause every time we talk
We say the same things that we say
So never mind all the noise going through your head

How can I be so certain
That my first impressions are mine
If each morning I wake up with circles around me that say
"I got mine, I give in, I give up, it's too much"
"Come on, let's give them hell! ", no, "Why not love? " you say
"Be too hard and there's not enough in this house of cards"

Who wants to be one step ahead
First to the punchline
Just one step ahead
First to the punchline

When it feels like it's all closing in
All the lines we won't cross, we'll bend instead
Never mind all the noise going through your head, oh
'Cause every time we talk
We say the same things that we say
And every line we cross
We say the same things that we say
Every time we try
We play the same old games, it's all been said
Now, never mind all the noise going through your head
