Split Enz › Lyrics › One Step Ahead

One step ahead of you
Stay in motion, keep an open mind
Love is a race won by two
Your emotion, my solitude

If I stop I could lose my head
So I'm losing you instead
Either way I'm confused
You slow me down, what can I do?

There's one particular way I have to choose

One step ahead of you
Always someone makes it hard to move
She says," Boy I want you to stay"
But I save it all for another day

If I stop I could lose my head
But I'm ready for romance
Either way I'm confused
I don't know what I'm supposed to do

I can only stay one step ahead of you

Stop, I confess sometimes
I don't know where am I goin'
Part of me stays with you
I'm slowing down, what can I do?

It's hard to stay one step ahead of you

One step ahead of you
Time is running out, catching up with you
One step ahead of you
When I hold you close, can I really lose?

One step ahead, only one step ahead
She's one step ahead of you
