[Verse]
We re been runnin away from,
Somethin we both know,
We ve long run out of things to say,
And I think I d better go.
So don t be gettin excited,
When you hear that slammin door,
Cause there ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin .
[Verse]
And we ve been hidin from somethin ,
That should have never gone this far,
But after all it s what we ve done,
That makes us what we are.
And you ve been talkin in silence,
Well if it s silence you adore,
Oh, there ll be one Less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin .
[Chorus]
Well there ll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
One Less man to walk in,
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
One less voice a-talkin .
[Verse]
But tomorrow s a dream away,
And today has turned to dust,
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
And your golden rule to rust.
If that s the way that you want it,
Well that s the way I want it more,
Cause there ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin .
[Chorus]
Well there ll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
One Less man to walk in,
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
One less voice a-talkin .
[Verse]
But tomorrow s a dream away,
And today has turned to dust,
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
And your golden rule to rust.
If that s the way that you want it,
Well that s the way I want it more,
Cause there ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin .
