| You always been a little slow
| Siempre has sido un poco lento
|
| hung up on yourself most times
| colgó de sí mismo la mayoría de las veces
|
| you seem to watch the world going by through
| pareces ver el mundo pasar a través de
|
| someone else’s eyes
| los ojos de otra persona
|
| your own reflection always seems to blind you
| tu propio reflejo siempre parece cegarte
|
| but one day you awoke to find
| pero un día te despertaste para encontrar
|
| all the people that tried to love you were gone
| todas las personas que trataron de amarte se fueron
|
| you were the only one left behind
| eras el único que se quedó atrás
|
| You were just one step behind
| Estabas solo un paso atrás
|
| you were just one step
| solo eras un paso
|
| behind
| detrás
|
| living one step behind
| viviendo un paso atrás
|
| and you missed it…
| y te lo perdiste...
|
| You didn’t put no kids through college
| No pusiste a ningún niño en la universidad
|
| or lavish love upon a wife
| o prodigar amor a una esposa
|
| so you sit alone with all your pretty things
| entonces te sientas solo con todas tus cosas bonitas
|
| waiting for the phone to ring
| esperando a que suene el teléfono
|
| you saved a whole lot of money
| ahorraste mucho dinero
|
| you spent a whole lot of time
| pasaste mucho tiempo
|
| waiting for your greater future to get here
| esperando que tu gran futuro llegue aquí
|
| but you couldn’t catch it
| pero no pudiste atraparlo
|
| You were just one step behind…
| Estabas un paso atrás...
|
| And you missed it
| Y te lo perdiste
|
| Now you wake up on the sidewalk
| Ahora te despiertas en la acera
|
| with your car keys in your hand
| con las llaves de tu auto en tu mano
|
| the sunrise burning holes in your eyes
| el amanecer quemando agujeros en tus ojos
|
| but you missed it
| pero te lo perdiste
|
| you chased away your princess
| ahuyentaste a tu princesa
|
| waiting for a queen
| esperando una reina
|
| now your princess is gone
| ahora tu princesa se ha ido
|
| with another man
| con otro hombre
|
| and you miss her
| y la extrañas
|
| lord how you miss her
| señor como la extrañas
|
| living just one step behind
| viviendo un paso atrás
|
| You wake up and it’s over
| Te despiertas y se acabó
|
| you done spent your life alone
| has pasado tu vida solo
|
| you don’t remember that it even happened
| no recuerdas que ni siquiera pasó
|
| don’t realize it’s gone
| no te das cuenta de que se ha ido
|
| you were just one step behind | solo estabas un paso atras |
