[Verse 1]

             
Step one you s

He walks you s

He smiles poli

ou
             
You stare poli

Some sort of w

right
             
As he goes lef

Between the li

Somewhere alon

[Verse 3]
             
As he begins t

  
o raise his vo

ice
            
You lower your

             
s and grant hi

 
m one last cho

ice
             
Drive until yo

  
u lose the roa

d
            
Or break with 

              
the ones you’v

 
e followed
          
He will do one

 of two things

 
            
He will admit 

   
to everything
             
Or he’ll say h

         
e’s just not t

he same
            
And you’ll beg

      
in to wonder w

hy you came
