One Less Set of Footsteps

We been running away from something we both know
We've long run out of things to say and I think I better go.

So don't be getting excited when you hear that slammin' door
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
(in the mornin')

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 been talkin' in silence
but if it's silence you adore
There'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor (in the mornin').

Well, there'll be one less set
of footsteps on your floor
One less girl to walk in
One less pair of jeans on your door
One less voice a'talkin'

But tomorrow's a dream away
Today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust.

Well, if that's the way that you want it
That's the way I want it more.
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
on your floor (in the mornin')

Well, there'll be one less set
of footsteps on your floor
One less girl to walk in
One less pair of jeans on your door
One less voice a'talkin'
