It was getting late when we went outside

And the city sounds had almost died

Not much around besides me and you

And a silence we could not break through

One step away, one step away

One step away from where you are

One step away, one step away

One step away, and still so far

I remember you looking down the stairs

I had to crane my neck to see you there

You used to tell me that I felt too much

Is it better now that I've lost that touch?

One step away, one step away

One step away from where you are

One step away, one step away

One step away, and still so far

Now the evening sky is golden red

And the planes are thundering overhead

I watch them fly until they're gone

And I try to guess which one you're on

One step away, one step away

One step away from where you are

One step away, one step away

One step away, and still so far

One step away, one step away

One step away from where you are

One step away, one step away

One step away, and still so far
