I'm two steps behind
Lost behind the lines of all space and time
So sorry, for me and for you
There seems to be a misunderstanding
Two distant points on a plane
Why won't you let me stop to explain
I try and try again - but so many times you turn your head.
But there's no race to get ahead
Only to meet on the line
And understand what's yours and what's mine
But I can't catch up to you and we're losing time
Behind the line.
Time's lost and never regained
Gone away to be dreamed or dread
But there's nothing there - when there's nothing said
But I know, nothing tried is nothing gained
But you send me away, when I try again
And now, I don't know what to do
Behind the line.
But I'm lost and don't know what to do
To do, for me and you
Let me know what I must do to stop from losing you
To catch up and step on the line with you, with you
Oh, with you, behind the line.
