They were first formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 2007 by guitarists Austin Dore and Josh Peltier, bassist Luke Burleigh, and drummer Sam Albarado. Their sound on their first two releases are more of a creative ambient post-hardcore sound. The band members began making a name for themselves in their hometown and found a loyal audience in Lafayette, Louisiana, but their fortunes took a major turn in 2010 when they relocated to Houston, Texas and added dueling vocalists Michael Swank (clean vocals) and John Ritter (screaming). As the alternating vocals gave Myka, Relocate a singular sound and guitarist Dore began adding electronics to the group's aural palette, their following grew, aided by extensive touring. In 2013, Sam Albarado left Myka, Relocate, and Aaron Robertson became the band's new drummer; that same year, the band signed a record deal with Artery Recordings, distributed by the well-established indie label Razor & Tie, and went into the studio with producer Cameron Mizell behind the controls. Myka, Relocate's debut album, Lies to Light the Way, was released in October 2013. The group toured extensively in support, and in 2015 they returned to the recording studio to begin work on their second album. In October 2015, the completed album, The Young Souls, was released. The band ended in the fall of 2020.

Only Steps Away
Myka Relocate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll take it from the start
You know I'll give it all I've got, I'll give it all I've got
Till I show that you can trust in me, just trust in me
Don't have to be afraid

You can stop all the leaves from fallin' away
I believe you can stop my skies from turnin' into grey
Wish the sound of your voice would stay
Because it feels like I am only steps away

Only steps away

When you turn off the lights
Ooh, you make me feel alive
Yeah, you know I'd give you all my time, all my time
I'll never walk away from you

I'll find hide from the day
Till I run out of sunlight, time doesn't pass by
I'll lie awake
Imagine the next time I look in your eyes

You can stop all the leaves from fallin' away
I believe you can stop my skies from turnin' into grey
Wish the sound of your voice would stay
Because it feels like I am only steps
From the next time you call me before you sleep
Swear to God when you laugh, it's like you're standin' right in front of me
How I wish how I wish your voice could stay
Because it feels like I am only steps away

Only steps away
Only steps away
Only steps away

You can stop all the leaves from fallin' away
I believe you can stop my skies from turnin' into grey
Wish the sound of your voice would stay
Because it feels like I am only steps away

I'm at the edge of the world, won't you hold me?
'Cause at the edge of the world, it gets lonely
I'm at the edge of the world, won't you hold me?
'Cause at the edge of the world, it gets lonely
I'm at the edge of the world, won't you hold me?
'Cause at the edge of the world, it gets lonely
I'm at the edge of the world, won't you hold me?
'Cause at the edge of the world, it gets lonely, oh

'Cause it gets lonely here

You can stop all the leaves from fallin' away
I believe you can stop my skies from turnin' into grey
Wish the sound of your voice would stay
Because it feels like I am only steps
From the next time you call me before you sleep
Swear to God when you laugh, it's like you're standin' right in front of me




How I wish how I wish your voice could stay
Because it feels like I am only steps away
