Two Steps From Goodbye

[Verse 1]
(Male)
You put the kettle on
Same chipped mug
Same tired song
We talk about the weather
Not the war
All our little jokes feel rehearsed
Like we’re reading lines in reverse
Standing where we’ve stood a hundred times before

[Chorus]
(Both)
We’re two steps from goodbye
One word from letting go
Halfway out the door
But we move so slow
Holding on to almost
Too scared to let it die
Living on the edge of you and I
Two steps from goodbye

[Verse 2]
(Female)
You leave your jacket on the chair
I trace your name that’s stitched there
Thinking ’bout the first time that you stayed
You used to spin me ‘round the room
Now the record’s out of tune
But my heart still jumps when I hear your name

[Chorus]
(Both)
We’re two steps from goodbye
One word from letting go
Halfway out the door
But we move so slow
Holding on to almost
Too scared to let it die
Living on the edge of you and I
Two steps from goodbye

[Bridge]
[Band drops to keys
Soft strings]
(Male) I don’t wanna be your almost
(Female) I don’t wanna be your friend
(Male) If this is just a slow fade
(Female) Let it break
Don’t let it bend
(Both) But every time we come that close
You take my hand
I change my mind again

[Chorus]
(Both)
We’re two steps from goodbye
One word from letting go
Halfway out the door
But we move so slow
Holding on to almost
Too scared to let it die
Living on the edge of you and I
Two steps from goodbye
Two steps from goodbye (oh, oh)
