Seven Steps Behind You
Chasing Shadows in a Lightning Love Affair
Lyrics
Lightning love affair
A passionate but fleeting romantic relationship
We walk into the storm
We face challenges together
By the haunted houses
Next to places filled with unresolved emotions or memories
We used to run past them
We used to pass these places quickly
Now I look in the window
I see reflections of myself and feel your presence
And I feel your breath beside me
Your closeness makes me lose control
Loosening my grip
I'm starting to let go of my hold on you
I watch you fall away completely
I observe you drifting away completely
And I was seven steps behind you
I'm lagging behind you by seven steps
Trying to catch up
Attempting to catch up to you
If I reach out and try to touch you
If I try to connect with you physically, will it suffice?
Would that be enough?
Is physical touch enough to bridge our distance?
Reckless runaway
Acting without care for consequences
I dreamt that I was drowning
I had a dream where I felt overwhelmed
You stood on the shore
You were present but oblivious to my struggles
Didn't notice my arms flailing
You didn't notice my distress
When I went underwater
Submerged underwater, facing unfamiliar situations
Saw a face I don't remember
Encountering an unknown person's face
She told me you don't love me
A stranger's message: you don't truly love me
Just want to love somebody
Only seeking someone to love, not necessarily me
And I was seven steps behind you
I'm desperately trailing you by seven steps, seeking your affection
Begging for your love
Pleading for your love
If I reach out and try to hold you
If I try to hold onto you, will it stabilize our relationship?
Will it keep me up?
Will holding onto you prevent me from falling further behind?
You said you were afraid of fire
Your fear of fire, a metaphor for avoiding intense emotions
Said you'd rather drown
You prefer emotional suffocation over intensity
And I follow you agreeing with
I agree with your sentiments and follow your lead
The things you talk about
I align with your beliefs and opinions
And all the running in the world
No matter how much I try to escape, I'm always behind
Doesn't change the fact that
Running away doesn't change my persistent lag behind you
I'm always seven steps behind
I'm consistently seven steps behind you
Oh, I'm always holding on so tight
I cling tightly, but it doesn't change the gap between us
Lightning love affair
Affectionate but fleeting relationship revisited
It's six in the morning
Specific time reference, repeating the stormy encounter
We walk into the storm
We willingly face challenges together again
Just to watch it pouring
To witness chaos and turmoil
By the haunted houses
Near places filled with unresolved emotions or memories, again
I stop by the window
I pause near the window, but you continue forward
And you just keep on walking
You're unaware of my constant distance behind you
Do you notice that I'm always
Do you notice my persistent lag behind you?
Seven steps behind you, honey
Always chasing you, regardless of my efforts
No matter what I do
Despite all attempts, I'm continuously behind you
And I loved you first, I love you last
I loved you before, and I continue to do so
So I stay catching up to you
I'm constantly trying to catch up to you
