Lyrics: Tea Party. One Step Closer Away.

I know your name, I heard you call, a distant voice behind the wall
Something stands in our way, she said, she said
I know a place where we can go
Where no one cares and no one knows, if it's passion or play

You speak in tongues, you read my mind
I'd give it all to see a sign
But you're taking forever

Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever?

And so, I climbed the wall, I needed proof, uncertain signs
Need certain truths with every step you take, she said, she said
You need to search, between the seams
You need to twist within the dream, you're one step closer away

You speak in tongues, you read my mind
I'd give it all to see a sign
But you're taking forever

Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away, will it take us forever?
Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away, will it take us forever?

You've always been, you've always known
That all this time, I've been alone
I've always searched for what I've lost, beneath a rose, behind a cross
You're always there, you're everywhere, will it take us forever?

You speak in tongues, you read my mind
I'd give it all to see a sign
But you're taking forever

Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away, will it take us forever?
Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away, will it take us forever?
