twenty steps if i walk
fifteen steps if i skip
ten steps if my dog drags me
i hope i don't trip
thirty minutes if it's nice
twenty minutes if it's hot
every minute wondering
if i should grab your hand, just a thought
sixty minutes watching
fifty minutes talking
endless minutes kissing
oops, it's late, i should get to walking
but first bring me to your driveway
i'm at a loss
so i'll just twirl around
and ask you to think of me
on my long journey home
you'll laugh
it's our classic goodbye
you make me blush
i make you sparkle
hair disheveled  
but never feeling prettier
goodbye
i'll let you know if i make it
twenty steps
i might burst
fifteen steps
i might melt
ten steps
i might fall
five steps
i fell
i'll walk twenty steps
or twenty-thousand
bursting with bubbly
makeup melting off
falling fast and free
how do you do it
how do you get me to smile
so confidently
i'll leave it here
remember me by it
until the next rendezvous
how good is it to be so young!
flings may fizzle
but i'll never forget
the way you made me feel
the way you made
twenty simple steps
so exciting
if you ever need me
you know where to find me
after all
it's just twenty steps.
