Two Steps Behind Lyrics
Walk away if you want to
it's ok, if you need to
you can run, but you can never hide
See my shadow come creeping up beside you
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all
Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.
Take the time
and think about it
Walk the line, you just can't fight it
Look around and see what you can find
Like a fire that's burning up inside me,
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all
Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.
(so watch out)
There's a magic running through your soul
but you can't have it all, no,
Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
wherever you go
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around and I'll be two steps behind.
Just turn around, I'll be two steps behind
I'll be two steps behind you
and I'll be there to remind you,
yeeeeaaah, yeeeeeeah
it's ok, if you need to
you can run, but you can never hide
See my shadow come creeping up beside you
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all
Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.
Take the time
and think about it
Walk the line, you just can't fight it
Look around and see what you can find
Like a fire that's burning up inside me,
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all
Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
and I'll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.

To turn around and I'll be two steps behind.
Just turn around, I'll be two steps behind
I'll be two steps behind you
and I'll be there to remind you,
yeeeeaaah, yeeeeeeah

If you take this song literally, it WILL come off stalkerish, however, the band, i think, intented for the song to be understood metaphorically. meaning, that he'llalways be there for her, a.k.a two steps behind, and that she should realise it, "take a minute of her precious time... to turn around"
great acoustic hit, good shit
That's what I think. If it weren't Joe singing and like a Quasimodo-it would be a "stalker" song...Love the acoustic it's challenging but not hard to play. :)

people people, this song is about a girl who mistakenly broke up with the singer and that no matter how hard she tries to forget him hes always on her mind "two steps behind"
It's about Christ. That's what I take from it.
originally a b-side, then featured in one of those arnold schwartzenegger movies. awesome song, i love the lyrics. "it only takes a minute of your precious time to turn around and i'll be two steps behind"
Something tells me this song waws about Rick Allen.. I could be wrong but everything just seems that way.. also there is no drums at all... usually in a ballad there is a little bass drum beat... Walk away if you want to it's ok, if you need to you can run, but you can never hide See my shadow come creeping up beside you There's a magic running through your soul But you can't have it all

Sounds like they are saying you can walk away from music if you want, but if he leaves its gonna eat him...
Sounds like they are saying you can walk away from music if you want, but if he leaves its gonna eat him up inside because its what he loves. and there is magic running through his soul... He lived through such a bad accident. but he still cant have it all.. thats just my take on the lyrics
Yeah, this was an awesome song. However, I guess by the time they wrote it, they had already grown up if you know what I mean. I guess eventually its not about the sex, drugs, and riffs anymore, they want to teach a lesson with their music. As a 16 year old, nothing could be more horrifying!
I love this song. . .It's one of my favorites from Def Leppard. . .Great lyrics I think.
This is a perfect song to chill out too. I don't think it was the end of their wild days just another side to them.
This song is again really pretty. They know how to write a ballad.
I'm 14 and I just saw them in Concert, the Rock of Ages concert; they had us sing along with us. Joe Elliot has an amazing voice.
