“One Step Away” is the third single off Moon Taxi’s sixth studio album, “Silver Dream”. It was released on September 25, 2020. Spencer Thomson took the lead on writing the song, and described it as a “desperation cry”.
[Chorus]
One step away
From falling off the edge
One step away
Good as dead
Too late to go back
Too hard to go on
I'm one step away
From gettin' gone
[Verse 1]
Alone at last
I find myself
But it's not
What I thought it'd be
Always climbing
Up the ladder
Reachin' for the highest tree
[Refrain]
But now I'm fallin' down
Backwards in the shaky ground
Can you hear me calling out
For you
[Chorus]
One step away
From falling off the edge
One step away
Good as dead
Too late to go back
Too hard to go on
I'm one step away
From gettin' gone
[Verse 2]
Wakin' up
Can't find myself
So who am I
Supposed to be
Always driving
To the dark side
In a penny limousine
[Refrain]
Now I'm fallin' down
Backwards in the shaky ground
Can you hear me calling out
For you
[Chorus]
One step away
One step away
One step away
I'm one step away
One step away
(Too late to go back)
One step away
(Too hard to go on)
One step away
(Good as dead)
I'm one step away
From gettin' gone
