It's so strange
he doesn't show me more affection than he needs
Almost formal, too respectful
never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
always half a beat behind
Always half a beat behind

I'm in every kind of trouble
can't you tell, just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
all in all I'm all at sea
Easy turns I thought I wanted
fill me now with chilling dread
You can never know the chaos
of a life turned on it's head
Of a life turned on it's head

Take a little time to panic
shake off your complacent state
I know all I ever wished to
of a life destroyed by fate
It's so strange you never notice anything
but where you are
Step outside your gleaming prison
or is that a step too far
Or is that a step too far
