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 (mmm)
All the lines we won't cross, we bend instead (mmm)
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 'em hell", "No, "Why not love?" you say
"Be too hard and that'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 (mmm)
All the lines we won't cross, we'll bend instead (mmm)
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
