Shoes to Fill

First love kinda situation

High school all that I'd ever known

Not long after graduation

You were telling me that we should move on

We were going in our own directions

Both years into somebody new

Six years mine was headed nowhere

Wish I could say the same for you

Sometimes

It'll hit you out the blue

Even the best ones

We can't stand to lose

He'd want nothing more than for you to

Find love like the kind that you had

I know there's a plan and a reason

But some things we don't understand

I'd bet he's sitting right on your shoulder

Telling you it's gonna be okay

This life's gonna pass you by and

You'll see him again someday

He might be gone but his love never will

I've got some shoes to fill

Hit send on a "how ya doing?"

Reached out when I heard the news

Made plans on a Friday night to

Talk about what we've been through

Can't say that we ever expected

Things to pan out the way they have

Rebuilding on an old connection

Trying not to move too fast

But it's crazy

I used to call you my girl

It's like we're back there

But I'm holding his whole world

He'd want nothing more than for you to

Find love like the kind that you had

I know there's a plan and a reason

But some things we don't understand

I'd bet he's sitting right on your shoulder

Telling you it's gonna be okay

This life's gonna pass you by and

You'll see him again someday

He might be gone but his love never will

I've got some shoes to fill

And I know he's up there right now

Seeing you shine and smiling down

He'd want nothing more than for you to

Find love like the kind that you had

I know there's a plan and a reason

But some things we don't understand

I'd bet he's sitting right on your shoulder

Telling you it's gonna be okay

This life's gonna pass you by and

You'll see him again someday

He might be gone but his love never will

He might be gone but his love never will

I've got some shoes to fill
