Shoes

Sitting with you, staring at the shadows on the wall

The tree is shaking like a skeleton in a dance-off

We’re just waiting for the other shoe to drop

Waiting, waiting, shaking, shaking

Did they tell you, if you bend you will not break?

Let’s try and ride it, we will sway with every wave

Close your eyes, the lights inside anyway

Our fingers laced, we’ve been bracing for this day

You’re at the station but it’s not the same as it was

It’s been repainted but the history is in the walls

Staring at your boots, all those piles of shoes

The faces change but the dirt’s the same

You know I always knew, that your dream was true

I believe in you, I tried to tell you that I do

It’s no surprise, you’ve seen my eyes

It ain’t nothing now, you know what to do

So c’mon, c’mon, c’mon…
