~10 Steps Behind You~
That night was ours.
I had you and 6.
On rooftops we danced for hours.
Hair and wind in mix.
You were mine...
For just one night.

Now in the moonlight I can see...
10 steps behind you.
Only close enough to notice how far you've kept me.
Because I'll always be there for you.
But I'll never be there for you.

Summer and winter,
We're two endless seasons.
Hand to splinter,
I can't find any reasons.

To tell you...
How you test my patients.
You're the only one to crawl under my skin.
To hollow out the veins within.
Life blood drain...
You've kept my heart in constant pain.

Tease me with a rubber-band.
I'm yours to cuddle.
And all my words would land...
If you only wouldn't rebuttal.

But you can never take a compliment can you?
*sigh*

Now here I am again...
10 steps behind you.
Only close enough to notice how far you've kept me.
Because I'll always be there for you.
But I'll never be there for you.
God I wish you'd let me be there for you!
