Portugal. The Man
Every Step That I Take (Mensa Mix)
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: John Gourley]
From the time I was born
Through all of my days
Try to catch my breath
Out of the womb and into the flames
Searching for the neon path
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been waiting my whole life
In the crossfire, yeah
I've been hiding my whole life
In the crossfire, yeah the crossfire
Every time I move
Every step that I take
Everywhere I look
It's right in front of my face
One foot in the shadows
One foot on the brakes
One foot towards the gallows
Where it's quiet and safe
[Chorus: John Gourley]
Every step that I take
Every step that I take
Every step that I take
Step that I take
Every step that I take
[Verse 2: John Gourley]
Lost in the motions
Locked in the safe
Trying to forget the key
And I know where I lost it
But I'll never say
One day it was taken from me
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been waiting my whole life
In the crossfire, yeah
I've been hiding my whole life
In the crossfire, yeah the crossfire
Every time I move
Every step that I take
Everywhere I look
It's right in front of my face
One foot in the shadows
One foot on the brakes
One foot towards the gallows
Where it's quiet and safe
[Chorus: John Gourley]
Every step that I take
Every step that I take
Every step that I take
Step that I take
Every step that I take
Step that I take
Every step that I take
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Every step that I take, take, take, take
(Take, take, take, take)
Every step that I take
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I move
Every step that I take
Everywhere I look
It's right in front of my face
One foot in the shadows
One foot on the brakes
Can't shake this force that
Keeps calling my name
[Chorus: John Gourley]
Every step that I take
Every step that I take
Every step that I take
Every step that I take
