If I were him,
I'd know your birthday
Just what to get
The colors you wear
We'd borrow bikes
We'd ride on Sundays
You'd review
The books I sell

And I know it takes 22 steps
From the walk to your door
Takes 22 steps
'Cause I've tried it before
And one day I'll knock
But just not yet

If I were him
I'd buy the rain coat
The orange one
That he forbade
We'd wait for rain
We'd walk by his house
In the front
Not by the lane

And I know it takes 22 steps
From the walk to your door
Takes 22 steps
'Cause I've tried it before
And one day I'll knock
But just not yet

And I'm not so sure
That you would not say
"Get out, don't step in"
I would never try again
I'm not so sure
That you would not say
"Get out, don't step in"
I would never try again

I would never try again

Takes 22 steps
From the walk to your door
Takes 22 steps
'Cause I've tried it before
And one day I'll knock
Yeah, and one day I'll knock

Takes 22 steps
From the walk to your door
Takes 22 steps
'Cause I've tried it before
And one day I'll knock
But just not yet

If I were him
I'd know your birthday wish
