Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We've been runnin' away from somethin' we both know
We've long run out of things to say
And I think I'd better go
So don't be gettin' excited, oh, when you hear that slammin' door
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
[Verse 2]
And we've been hidin' from somethin'
That should've never gone this far
But after all, it's what we've done, makes us what we are
And you've been talkin' in silence, well, if it's silence you adore
Oh, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
[Verse 3]
Oh, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a-talkin'
[Verse 4]
But tomorrow's a dream away
And today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
Well, that's the way I want it more
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
[Verse 5]
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a-talkin'
[Verse 6]
But tomorrow's a dream away
Oh, and today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
Well, that's the way I want it more
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
[Verse 7]
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
