One Step

On a side street near Sixth and Vine
We fog up the view from invisible pedestrians
Outside in the back seat of a '72 sedan
Steel blue, I'm with you
All the while we trade smiles in small places
Slide down the back seat out of view
Little darlin' don't you know I'm just one step
In front of being, being behind
Said I'm one step in front of behind

In a one room location, creation,
Patience bides our time
Corn silk and azure blue turnpike curves
Paves my mind
All the while we trade smiles in small places
And push all our graces out of view
Little darlin' don't you know you're just one step
In front of being, being behind
Said you're one step in front of behind

Time takes from me
So I'll take my time while it's ticking goodbye
As time takes from us
We'll take our time
While we're walking the line

Don't know if I'm right or wrong
Or if this song to her makes sense
Well I told her once before
So I'll tell her once more
At least that's present tense
And all the while, we trade smiles with our faces
Act our shoe size, not our ages
Everybody don't you know we're just one step
In front of being, being behind
Said we're one step in front of behind
