Footsteps -

You had me when I saw your shoes

Or trainers if truth be told

You had my heart the day I heard your footsteps near me

And every summer passed me by

The stairs to my apartment lacked excitement and style

Until I heard your footsteps with me

On the top deck of the 23

Through winter snow and autumn leaves

Our footsteps in sync

It’s a beautiful thing, choreography

From the supermarket aisles to the dancefloors of provincial towns

I’d occupy my vacant hours just waiting for something

For every couple holding hands in the high street

You can bet your life

You’ll only hear a single set of footsteps between them

On the platforms of the Central line

The beaches of a south coast town

Our footsteps in sync

It’s a beautiful thing, choreography

Like the mischief hidden in your eyes

Or the retro clothes you always buy

I just hope I’ll always hear your footsteps with me

Like the clutter in your kitchen

The same song you keep on whistling

I just hope I’ll always hear your footsteps with me

On the top deck of the 23

Through winter snow and autumn leaves

Our footsteps in sync

It’s a beautiful thing, choreography

Like the mischief hidden in your eyes

Or the retro clothes you always buy

I just hope I’ll always hear your footsteps with me

Like the clutter in your kitchen

The same song you keep on whistling

I just hope I’ll always hear your footsteps with me

We’ll take one step forwards and then two steps backwards…
