One Step Behind

You're ahead, I'm behind and I cannot seem to
Catch on up, up to you, 'cause I'm just not fast enough
Not fast enough for you
Left and right every night I can see you going
Out with guys who I know just are not the type for you
But there's nothing I can do
Oh I wish I could tell you that I am not too far behind
You're out of reach, out of range
Out of grasp, out of sight
But never out of mind
For I'll never forget you no matter how far you are

So why am I always one step behind you
Why can't I ever walk at your side
When will your intuition remind you
To turn right around and just be mine

I had dreamt in my sleep that I'd one day catch you
And I swore on my heart that I won't forget you
I, I will be close by
I will do anything to grab your attention
And I'll do even more to win your affection
Girl, that's how hard I try
And in that moment when I
will have finally caught up to you
I'll hold your hand, seal our fate
Hear my heart start to race
There's nothing left to do
For I need nothing more than to simply hold on to you

So why am I always one step behind you
Why can't I ever walk at your side
When will your intuition remind you
To turn right around and just be mine
