22 Steps - Damien Leith

If I were him

I’d know your birthday

Just what to get

The colors you wear

We’d buy old bikes

We’d ride on Sundays

You’d review

The books I sent

And I know

It takes 22 steps

From the walk to your door

It takes 22 steps

Because I’ve tried it before

And one day I’ll knock

But just not yet

If I were him

I’d buy the raincoat

The orange one

That he forbade

We’d wait for rain

We’d walk by his house

In the front

Not by the lane

And I know

It takes 22 steps

From the walk to your door

It takes 22 steps

Because I’ve tried it before

And one day I’ll knock

But just not yet

And I’m not so sure

That you would not say

Get out, don’t step in

I’ll never try again

I’ll never try again

It takes 22 steps

From the walk to your door

It takes 22 steps

Because I’ve tried it before

And one day I’ll knock

But just not yet

If I were him

I’d know your birthday wish
