9 steps away.

Staring at a house that's just like yours Funny to observe how the rain pours 'Cause it doesn't remind me of you Don't know why I said it, but it's the truth And I, I don't know How to let things go And I, I don't know But we were nine steps away from paradise And so close to not needing to sacrifice So close yet so far, in feet or in yards 'Cause I don't know but I see how close you were To something you may never know Oh I keep seeing eyes that are like yours Funny playing games with the patterned floors 'Cause they distract me from you And I don't know why I said it, but it's the truth And I'm dangerous when I have hope Cause I, I don't know how to let go And I hope that she's wonderful And everything you wanted Maybe even what you wanted from me And I'm so stupid for falling in love With the thought that it could be meant to be But we were nine steps away from paradise And now I can't stop wondering why I even try So close yet so far but I can't let it tear me apart And maybe it's best that I'll never know How close we were To something I may never know Something I may never know mmmm
