Take a step in my direction
Steady now. Just the one
Any more than that
And you will stumble
Fall into my arms
Which wouldn't be so bad except
Your sweet cheeks will flush
Your heart will quicken and
Your brow will furrow
You'll stand up straight
Dust yourself off
And prepare to leave again
Just the one
Watch the dirt slip at your feet
Count the pebbles in the sand
So close that you can feel my breath
But so far that you cannot touch
A doll behind a wall of glass
Oh how you wish to play with her
What will I do when I have
Pulled you back
Will I have you at my feet
Will I cause you pain
Or will I let go
Triumphant, but defeated
Watch the dirt slip at your feet
Count the pebbles in the sand
So close that you can feel my breath
But so far that you cannot touch
A doll behind a wall of glass
Oh how you wish to play with her
What will I do when I have
Pulled you back
Will I have you at my feet
Will I cause you pain
Or will I let go
Triumphant, but defeated
