Fair Warning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everywhere I go -
It is telling me to come home.
And I know what it means -
I'm a million miles away -
From the smile that makes me live again.
There's a ringing in my ear -
And it's telling me to listen -
I can fell all the pain -
You are going through since I've been away.
It's the call of your heart I feel -
It's the call of our love taking me night by night.
One step closer to you - every beat of my heart -
Every move that I make brings me
One step closer back home- 'cos I know you'll be there -
Still waiting for me, waiting for me.
I've been out on the road -
Every day and every night -
Just to hold you in my arms again.
I've been loosing my mind -
Every lonely night grows colder -
When the light of your love's far away.
It's the call of your heart I feel -
It's the call of your love taking me night by night.
One step closer to you - every beat of my heart -
Every move that I make brings me
One step closer back home- 'cos I know you'll be there -
Still waiting for me.
(Solo)
One step closer - step by step -
One step closer to you
One step closer to you - every beat of my heart -
Every move that I make brings me
One step closer back home- 'cos I know you'll be there -
Still waiting for me, waiting for me.
It's the call of your heart I feel -
It's the call of your love taking me night by night.
It's the call of your heart -
The call of your heart I feel.
The lyrics to Fair Warning's "One Step Closer" tell a story about a man who misses the love of his life while he is on the road. He hears a voice in his head everywhere he goes, urging him to come home, and he knows what it means. He is a million miles away from the smile that makes him live again. The ringing in his ear tells him to listen to the words his heart says, and he can feel all the pain she is going through since he's been away. However, the call of his heart leads him to take one step closer to her every beat of his heart, knowing she's still waiting for him back home.
The song emphasizes the power of love and how it pulls people closer together. The singer's commitment to his love is evident throughout the song as he struggles to stay sane on the road without her. The lyrics are relatable as they capture the emotions of being separated from a loved one and the longing to be reunited with them.
