Three Steps Ahead Songtext
von The Vandas

Well I find myself in a funny situation
When I try to talk to you
Going back so far I can never quite remember
Everything I was to do
All the people I was supposed to stay away from
And the names I should not say
Seem to raise their heads and they point in my direction
And I try to stay away

I could drive you where you wanna be
But I don′t know if you want to go with me
Before I speak I always count to three
I think about what's being said
′Cause you're always three steps ahead of me


Well I got your clothes and I took them to the cleaners
'Cause the bin was getting full
And I filled that hole in the middle of the driveway
To show you′re comfortable
Would you like some love or a special invitation
To a place you′ve never been?
There's a train that leaves at a quarter past the hour
If I can find the steam

I could drive you where you wanna be
But I don′t know if you want to go with me
Before I speak I always count to three
I think about what's being said
′Cause you're always three steps ahead

Well a taxi came in the middle of the movie
It was time for you to go
And a song came on just before the intermission
As I sat there in the row
And the time stood still as I listened to the lyrics
That were ringing in my ears
It was days before anybody ever noticed
We′d been here for seven years

I could drive you where you wanna be
But I don't know if you want to go with me
Before I speak I always count to three
I think about what's being said
′Cause you′re always three steps ahead of me
