One Step Behind

君の一歩うしろ

A rival’s footwork follows the player into solitary practice. A rematch creates one opening, but the decisive shot leaves the miss unresolved.ライバルの足運びが頭から離れず、誰もいないコートで同じ動きを繰り返す。再戦で生まれた一瞬の隙と、決めきれなかった一本が次の曲へ続く。

Behind the Track楽曲の背景

The rival’s first move is over before the player can follow it. That change of pace stays in their head after class, when two chalk marks and an empty court become a place to practise.

In the rematch, the player borrows the move and finds a moment of space. The shot hits the rim as the horn sounds. The rival offers a hand, but the player keeps watching where the ball bounced.

相手の肩に反応した時には、もう抜かれている。その緩急が放課後まで頭に残り、誰もいないコートで二本のチョークの印を踏み直す。

再戦では、その動きから一瞬の隙を作り出す。放ったボールはリングに当たり、落ちる途中でブザーが鳴る。差し出されたライバルの手を取りながら、視線はボールの跳ねた場所から離れない。

Lyrics歌詞

Different jerseys, same old grin
You barely even watch the ball
I lean the way your shoulder leans
You're gone before I move at all
Your bench is up before you land
I'm reaching where you used to be
You jog back past and tap my shoulder
Like we're just warming up again

跟上啊!

You never need to look behind
You know just where I'll be
I know I'll see that move tonight
When I'm supposed to sleep

One step behind
Your footwork in my head
I chase you round an empty court
And run that play again
One step behind
But I'm closer than before
You make me want another shot
Then make me want it more

The court is empty after class
Two chalk marks where I plant my feet
I picture how your shoulders turned
Then try to find the missing beat
The chalk wears pale beneath my shoes
I keep you there inside my head
The move that left me reaching out
Is one I haven't finished yet

I start to feel the pause you take
Before you change your pace
For once my feet arrive in time
To hold that bit of space

One step behind
Your footwork in my head
I chase you round an empty court
And run that play again
One step behind
But I'm closer than before
You make me want another shot
Then make me want it more

Next game, we're down by one
The pass comes hard against my palms
You settle low and watch my waist
I try to make my breathing calm
I fake the way you faked me out
Then plant my foot and cut inside
For half a beat, your hand is late
For half a beat, that space is mine

One step behind
Your footwork in my head
The space I found is closing fast
I have to take it now
One step behind
But I'm closer than before
You make me want another shot
Then make me want it more

还有两秒!

Up past your fingers
Off the rim
The horn goes while it's coming down
You hold your hand out
I reach for it
I can't stop watching where it bounced
