I'm sick and tired of being told I'm an impatient boy
I took the bait and made a beeline for your heart
You left me broken on the floor like a discarded toy
I should have known it from the start
My destination is the place where only fools rush in
Too quick to trace the paces of my racing heart
Gone home to steal a starring role in your biography
And dreamt I'd graced the pages from the start
(You gotta know)
With every little step, I follow
Wherever you may go
(I really love you)
And I would beg, or steal, or borrow
Just to let you know
You sow a seed I can't delete, it grew such hope in me
Your sunshine face, your branches wrapped around my soul
Left to neglect, it grew so sweetly while it's choking me
How could I ever let it go?
(You gotta know)
With every little step, I follow
Wherever you may go
(I really love you)
And I would beg, or steal, or borrow
Just to let you know
I rolled the dice, it was a chance I was prepared to take
I never want to think that ignorance was bliss
I took the plunge and then acknowledged that it was make or break
And either way I know it's worth the risk
(You gotta know)
With every little step, I follow
Wherever you may go
(I really love you)
And I would beg, or steal, or borrow
Just to let you know
(You gotta know)
These words will make me break my sorrow (You gotta know)
Stay or make you go
(I really love you)
And even if you're gone tomorrow
At least I'll know you know
You gotta slow down, boy
Get another chance tomorrow
You gotta slow down, boy
Get another chance tomorrow
You gotta slow down, boy
Get another chance tomorrow
You gotta slow down, boy
Get another chance tomorrow
