One Step Too Far
Love's Turning Point: One Step Too Far by John Martyn
Lyrics
Playing your cards right, keeping your cool
Being strategic and composed in decision-making.
Pushing it all night, nobody's fool
Persisting throughout the night without being deceived.
Can you feel the table turning
Sensing a shift in the situation or dynamics.
And if you don't want me, why don't you say?
Expressing a desire for honesty if the relationship is not wanted.
I can't live with this feeling
Experiencing the distress of love slipping away.
Of love slipping away
Conveying the emotional struggle of losing love.
Can you feel the table turning?
Reiterating the sense of changing dynamics.
Can you feel the scene begin to change
Noticing a shift or development in the surrounding environment.
Please somebody tell me, where we are?
Seeking awareness about the current state of the relationship.
I believe we've come one step too far
Expressing a belief that a line has been crossed, indicating potential problems.
Stepping so lightly, all over town
Moving through life with ease but perhaps recklessly.
Johnny come lately, dangerous ground
Being late to a situation and treading on risky ground.
Can you feel the table turning
Reiterating the sense of changing dynamics.
Playing your cards right, keeping your cool
Repeating the idea of strategic and composed behavior.
Pushing it all night, nobody's fool
Persisting throughout the night without being deceived (repeated).
Can you feel the tables turning?
Emphasizing the feeling of shifting circumstances.
Can you feel the scene begin to changе
Noticing a change in the overall situation.
Please somebody tеll me, where we are?
Seeking information about the current state of affairs (repeated).
I believe we've come one step too far
Reiterating the belief that a line has been crossed, possibly indicating irreversible consequences.
Can you feel the tables turning?
Repeating the idea of changing dynamics.
Can you feel the scene begin to change
Noticing a shift or development in the surrounding environment (repeated).
Can you feel the tables turning
Emphasizing the ongoing transformation of circumstances.
Can you feel the world begin to move
Sensing a global or profound change in the world.
Can you feel the tables turning
Highlighting the continuous evolution of the situation.
Can you feel the world begin to move
Noticing a significant shift in the world at large.
