"Step" lyrics

"Step"

I don't talk back
I had to take a step
I had to take a step
I still love you to the back of my throat
I still rendez-vous with you in my dreams

I've been waiting at the edge of my seat
For something to happen

Waiting for the ground to slip and kill me
Waiting for you to jump out of character and kiss me
I've been counting hours, thinking that I'll get them back
Testing out the waters 'til they're given us the slap

I built a song for me and you to live in
I'm gonna take you with me
I'm gonna take you with me
I did you wrong
'Cause that's all that I knew how
I've been talking to the stars
Hoping that they'll listen
Listening to space to drown it all out

I had to take a step
I had to take a step
I had to take a step
I had to take a step

I still love you to the back of my throat
I still rendez-vous with you in my dreams
I still love you to the back of my throat
I still rendez-vous with you in my dreams

I've been waiting at the edge of my seat
For something to happen

Waiting for the ground to slip and kill me
Waiting for you to jump out of character and kiss me
I've been counting hours, thinking that I'd get them back
Testing out the waters, giving myself heart attacks

I still love you to the back of my throat
I still rendez-vous with you in my dreams
I still love you, whatever love means

I built a song for me and you to live in
I did you wrong
'Cause that's all that I knew how
I built a song for me and you to live in
I'm gonna take you with me
I'm gonna take you with me
I did you wrong
'Cause that's all that I knew how
I've been talking to the stars
Hoping that they'll listen
Listening to space to drown it all out
