Come aboard, she said Though I know the water scares you I won't let you go outside the rail Trust me, I won't fail
Keeping one step ahead Keeping one step ahead From the time and the tide From a pain I can't hide
Your heart might be blue as the ocean And just as cold, she said How come you're always shivering Must be the torn clothes you wear Must be all the things in life you won't dare
I'm keeping one step ahead I'm keeping one step ahead From what paints on my disguise What's flashing before my eyes
All the things you've done in your life That no one can forgive, she said I don't care how you choose to die I only care if you wanna live
Keeping one step ahead Keeping one step ahead From all the anchors and the chains From the wind that always blows my name Keeping one step ahead
