Step Ahead

If you could you teach me to dance
Like I don’t have the soul of a white man
Like I don’t have seven left feet
I would be replete
Safe in the house
That your arms have built me
But I don’t think I can keep up
With the footwork
And you’re one step ahead
I’m just one step behind
You’re just one step ahead
I’m just one step behind
I scared off all the crows
When I was out practicing my shuffle
And all the neighbours said what a strange man
But they can’t understand
How I want to animate these limbs
How I wish you could feel them interlocking
And you’re one step ahead
I’m just one step behind
You’re just one step ahead
I’m just one step behind
