[Intro] [Verse 1] I see you making mistakes And making mistakes isn’t sin Until somebody starts to bleed From the world you’re living in I see you dreaming of something And somehow it frightens me You’re getting lost in a world That won’t let anybody in [Pre-Chorus] I call your name You turn away A little farther every day [Chorus] You’re getting out of my life And it seems to take such a long time One step at a time One bad grade at a time You’re getting out of my life And I don’t know where you go at night You’re still standing here But you’re already out of sight [Instrumental] [melodic Stratocaster response] [long delay trails] [Verse 2] I see the people around you Learning to stay out of your way Every little wound that you leave Is something sorry cannot erase Maybe there’s nothing wrong with dreaming Maybe we all need somewhere to hide But when the door closes behind you Who are you leaving outside? [Pre-Chorus] I call your name You turn away A little farther every day [Chorus] You’re getting out of my life And it seems to take such a long time One step at a time One goodbye at a time You’re getting out of my life Like a light disappearing at night You’re still standing here But you’re already out of sight [Bridge] [drums pull back] [voice almost alone] [Final Chorus] You’re getting out of my life And it seems to take such a long time One step at a time One goodbye at a time You’re getting out of my life And maybe that’s what hurts tonight I can still see you I just can’t reach you anymore [Outro] Getting out of my life… Getting out of my life… Such a long time… Baby, Come back to me.
