[Intro] Come on Just one step Nobody has to know [Verse 1] He never starts with chains He starts with an invitation Never shows the grave Just the little celebration Says, "You deserve this You've been good for far too long" Makes the poison taste like freedom Makes the wrong feel almost gone [Pre-Chorus] He doesn't need forever He just needs one step [Chorus] That's the door He whispers from the other side "Come on through You can leave whenever you like" But the second that I cross it The welcome disappears The tempter turns accuser And starts screaming in my ear "You knew better Look what you've done God won't want you anymore" Same devil Different voice On the other side Of the door [Verse 2] Before I cross the threshold He calls desire harmless Says anger isn't hatred Says pride is just confidence Says, "Stay another minute Let the thought become your own" Then the room gets smaller And somehow I'm not alone [Pre-Chorus] He doesn't need forever He just needs one step [Chorus] That's the door He whispers from the other side "Come on through You can leave whenever you like" But the second that I cross it The welcome disappears The tempter turns accuser And starts screaming in my ear "You knew better Look what you've done God won't want you anymore" Same devil Different voice On the other side Of the door [Verse 3] Funny how the one who tells me "Surely God won't mind" Is the first one there to prosecute me When I cross the line First he sells the fantasy Then photographs the fall First he says it isn't serious Then says I'm nothing at all [Bridge] Before the door: Pleasure Escape Approval Just this once After the door: Guilty Filthy Hopeless Too far gone Before the door: "God understands" After the door: "God could never understand you" Same mouth Same liar Same war [Verse 4] So I'm learning not to argue With a salesman at the gate I don't owe temptation A conversation or debate When I hear him softly calling I know where that hallway goes And freedom isn't proving I can stand beside the door Freedom is turning around And going home [Final Chorus] That's the door He whispers from the other side "Come on through You can leave whenever you like" But I know what waits behind it I have heard that voice before The tempter and accuser Are the same one at the door So I don't have to enter I don't have to prove I'm strong Grace has given me another road And I know where I belong Same devil Different voice I don't answer Anymore [Outro] Come on Just one step NO!
