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