[Verse 1]
In the space between the words
In the silence of your eyes
In the hands that know the touch
It’s the way I feel inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are, dancing cross this floor together
With every step I take I seem to want you more than ever
You made me love you
Look into my eyes
I want to tell you...

[Chorus]
I’ll never let you down, and I’ll never go away
And if your ever feeling down, I’m just a step away
I’ll never let you down, and I’ll never go away
And if your ever feeling down
I’m just a step, just a step, just a step away

[Verse 2]
It’s the beating of your heart
It’s the tear I have to hide
It’s the sound of your guitar
It’s the way I feel inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are, dancing cross this floor together
With every step I take I seem to want you more than ever
You made me love you
Look into my eyes
I want to tell you...

[Chorus]
I’ll never let you down, and I’ll never go away
And if your ever feeling down, I’m just a step away
I’ll never let you down, and I’ll never go away
And if your ever feeling down
I’m just a step, just a step, just a step away

[Bridge]
If you need a shoulder, or someone to hold you
I’ll keep my arms open wide
I’ll be the one who loves you
I’ll be right there by your side

[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are, dancing cross this floor together
With every step I take I seem to want you more than ever
You made me love you
Look into my eyes
I want to tell you...

[Chorus]
I’ll never let you down, and I’ll never go away
And if your ever feeling down, I’m just a step away
I’ll never let you down, and I’ll never go away
And if your ever feeling down
I’m just a step, just a step, just a step away

[Outro]
In the space between the words
In the silence of your eyes
In the hands that know the touch
It’s the way I feel inside

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
