Footsteps-Pocketbooks

You had me when I saw your shoes Or trainers if truth be told You had my heart the day I heard your footsteps near me And every summer passed me by The stairs to my apartment lacked excitement and style Until I heard your footsteps with me On the top deck of the 23 Through winter snow and autumn leaves Our footsteps in sync It's a beautiful thing, choreography From the supermarket aisles to the dancefloors of provincial towns I'd occupy my vacant hours just waiting for something For every couple holding hands in the high street You can bet your life You'll only hear a single set of footsteps between them On the platforms of the Central line The beaches of a south coast town Our footsteps in sync It's a beautiful thing, choreography Like the mischief hidden in your eyes Or the retro clothes you always buy I just hope I'll always hear your footsteps with me Like the clutter in your kitchen The same song you keep on whistling I just hope I'll always hear your footsteps with me On the top deck of the 23 Through winter snow and autumn leaves Our footsteps in sync It's a beautiful thing, choreography Like the mischief hidden in your eyes Or the retro clothes you always buy I just hope I'll always hear your footsteps with me Like the clutter in your kitchen The same song you keep on whistling I just hope I'll always hear your footsteps with me We'll take one step forwards and then two steps backwards…
