22 Steps

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
