Teddy Thompson - A Step Behind lyrics

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 lack

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

And I hope you remember

when it comes around

The gentle release

of letting me down

and the way that it felt

to be high on yourself

blindly running into the new

[guitar solo]

I haven't re-learned to walk

it's hard to learn that

and it wasn't the fall

it was the push in the back

i was always a step behind

i was always a step behind

oooh i didn't see it comin' up from behind

i was always a step behind
