Tip Toe

Never or Tonight

Tip toe
Two steps from heaven and I’m tired
Never thought I was the shy type
But I can’t even look her in the eye


Tick tock
Two ticks and it’ll be time
But I never saw myself dying
Always imagined I’d survive


Tap tap
Here she comes knocking on my door
As if she’s never been before
And though there’s nothing I want more
I’m gonna have to let this one go


Is this all you’ve got for me, God?
Cos I think I could hurt some more
So bring the rain now, let it pour


Because I never gave up
But she’d always let me down
That’s what made me who I am
And that’s put me where I stand


Everything that she did
And all that she said
That’s what brought me here today
And that’s what left me here for dead


If I don’t shout it out loud enough
If I’m not brash and proud enough
There’ll be nothing that I’ve done
That I’ll be known for when I’m gone


Except shipwrecks
And footsteps so


Tip toe
Two steps from heaven and I’m tired
Can’t even look her in the eye
Never thought I was the shy type
Always thought that I’d be fine
