Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

I know the hour that you leave your door

I know the sidewalk that your footsteps walk before

I tell myself it's only love that makes me stay

Watching every window down your way

[verse]

You think you're free now that you've said goodbye

But I'm the shadow that you can't deny

Every number that you dial, every word you send

I'm still counting how this story's gonna end

[chorus]

Every step you take, I'm one step behind

Every word you say, I'm reading in your mind

Every night you sleep, I'm outside in the cold

Call it love, but it's a hand too tight to hold

I'm watching you, I'm watching you

[verse]

You laugh with someone else across the street

I feel the ground go missing from beneath my feet

I tell myself I'm patient, I tell myself I'm kind

But patience isn't what is living in this mind

[chorus]

Every step you take, I'm one step behind

Every word you say, I'm reading in your mind

Every night you sleep, I'm outside in the cold

Call it love, but it's a hand too tight to hold

I'm watching you, I'm watching you

[bridge]

Since you left, my nights don't end

Since you left, I can't pretend

That this feeling I call missing you

Isn't something darker, something I hold onto

[chorus]

Every step you take, I'm one step behind

Every word you say, I'm reading in your mind

Every night you sleep, I'm outside in the cold

Call it love, but it's a hand too tight to hold

I'm watching you, I'm watching you
