Two Steps Behind

Def Leppard · Mirror Ball-Live & More [2011]

Walk away if you want to

It's ok, if you need to

Well, you can run, but you can never hide

From the shadow that's creeping up beside you

And, there's a magic running through your soul

But you can't have it all



Whatever you do I'll be two steps behind you

Wherever you go and I'll be there to remind you

That it only takes a minute of your precious time

To turn around and I'll be two steps behind



Take the time to think about it

Walk the line, you know you just can't fight it

Take a look around and see what you can find

Like the fire that's burning up inside me

And there's a magic running through your soul

But you can't have it all



Whatever you do I'll be two steps behind you

Wherever you go and I'll be there to remind you

That it only takes a minute of your precious time

To turn around and I'll be two steps behind



And there's a magic running through your soul

But you, you can't have it all



Whatever you do I'll be two steps behind you

Wherever you go and I'll be there to remind you

That it only takes a minute of your precious time

To turn around and I'll be two steps behind



Yeah baby, two steps behind

Oh sugar, two steps behind
