Stepping Stones

There’s a million happy stories being told by hotel walls where I’ll be
spending the night
But to think that I’m not gonna be among them is just making me go out of my
mind
'Cause while you’re sitting at our home, I’ll be digging deep to try to figure
out what went wrong
And try to figure out a way to make it right so I won’t have to spend the night
on my own
So while you sit there all alone
In our dark and empty bedroom
I’ll call you on the phone
And tell you
Baby, all we need are stepping stones
To bring me just a little bit closer to you
We’ve been drifting apart for so long
I bet you think we won’t be making it through
But all we need are stepping stones
To make this gap between us just a little less wide
And with baby steps along the way
I bet you babe that all we need are stepping stones
Is the reason that we’re standing here because I let you slip so I could work
all the time
And travel months on end around the country trying to make myself a few extra
dimes
Let me take you by surprise, take you out downtown tonight, spend the evening
just hanging around
Doing all the things we’ve missed and making sure that people notice that I’m
showing you off
Don’t you sit there all alone
In our dark and empty bedroom
I’ll pick you up at home
And tell you
Baby, all we need are stepping stones
To bring me just a little bit closer to you
We’ve been drifting apart for so long
I bet you think we won’t be making it through
But all we need are stepping stones
To make this gap between us just a little less wide
And with baby steps along the way
I bet you babe that all we need is
A little more effort, a little more time
A few more nights of you and I just fooling around
Whatever it takes, I’ll try my best to give us peace of mind
Baby, all we need are stepping stones
To bring me just a little bit closer to you
We’ve been drifting apart for so long
I bet you think we won’t be making it through
But all we need are stepping stones
To make this gap between us just a little less wide
And with baby steps along the way
I bet you babe that all we need are stepping stones
