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, ooh

All the lines we won't cross, we'll bend instead, ooh

Never mind all the noise going through your head, oh

'Cause every time we talk, we say the same things that we said

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 there'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, ooh

All the lines we won't cross, we'll bend instead, ooh

Never mind all the noise going through your head, oh

'Cause every time we talk, we say the same things that we said

And every line we cross, we say the same things that we said

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
