Teddy Thompson - A Step Behind Lyrics

It's not so much that you left
It's that you didn't come back
It's not the pain that you felt
But the obvious ?

I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind

I wasn't watching you go
But the way that you went
With a kiss on the cheek
And a cheque for the rent

I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind

It wasn't really your fault
Cos you made it mine too
While you were lookin' around
I was lookin' at you

I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind

The gentle release
Of laying me down
And the way that it felt
To be high on yourself
Finally waiting into the muse (?)

[guitar solo]

I haven't re-learned to walk
It's hard to learn now
And it wasn't the fall
It was the pushing it back

I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind

Oooh i didn't see it comin' from behind
I was always a step behind
