Lyrics

[00:07.000] We been runnin' away from
[00:10.000] Somethin' we both know
[00:13.000] We've long run out of things to say
[00:17.000] And I think I better go
[00:20.000] So don't be gettin' excited
[00:23.000] Oh, when you hear that slammin' door
[00:26.000] 'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
[00:30.000] On your floor in the mornin'
[00:34.000] And we've been hidin' from somethin'
[00:36.000] That should have never gone this far
[00:41.000] But after all it's what we've done
[00:44.000] Makes us what we are
[00:48.000] And you been talkin' in silence
[00:50.000] Well, if it's silence you adore
[00:53.000] Oh, baby, one less set of footsteps
[00:56.000] On your floor in the mornin'
[01:00.000] Well, baby
[01:01.000] One less set of footsteps on your floor
[01:04.000] It's one less man to walk in
[01:07.000] One less pair of jeans on your door
[01:11.000] One less voice a-talkin'
[01:13.000] But tomorrow's a dream away
[01:17.000] Today has turned to dust
[01:21.000] Your silver tongue has turned to clay
[01:24.000] And your golden rule to rust
[01:28.000] If that's the way that you want it
[01:30.000] Oh, that's the way I want it more
[01:33.000] Well, they'll be one less set of footsteps
[01:37.000] On your floor in the mornin'
[01:53.000] Well, there'll be
[01:54.000] One less set of footsteps on your floor
[01:58.000] One less man to walk in
[02:00.000] One less pair of jeans on your door
[02:04.000] One less voice a-talkin'
[02:08.000] But tomorrow's a dream away
[02:10.000] And today has turned to dust
[02:14.000] Your silver tongue has turned to clay
[02:17.000] And your golden rule to rust
[02:21.000] If that's the way that you want it
[02:23.000] Oh, that's the way I want it more
[02:27.000] 'Cause baby, one less set of footsteps
[02:30.000] On your floor in the mornin'
[02:33.000] Oh, baby, one less set of footsteps
[02:36.000] On your floor in the mornin'
