In These Shoes - Dickie

In these shoes I feel so lonely

In these shoes I’m not so lovely

I want to stand by you, girl

But there’s not a tread that moves

Me through the room

In these shoes I’m unrelated

To a boy who could walk up

And get acquainted

So much fiber and wood

I may stumble and then you’ll see

A fool and his tendencies

You’ve got to come to me

It’s the longest way to go

And it won’t get better

Tangled up inside my clothes

And it won’t get better

You’ve not seen enough to know

It won’t get better

Better than me

In these shoes I bear allegiance

To an inch that grows a mile

With every reason

I’m going to hold to my ground

Maybe I’ll end up right in your way

The perfectly planned mistake

This one’s bound to take

It’s the longest way to go

And it won’t get better

Tangled up inside my clothes

And it won’t get better

You’ve not seen enough to know

It won’t get better

Better than me

Faster crowds at faster paces

Only known to throw me off

You just float across these anxious faces

We just watch, we can only watch

It’s the longest way to go

And it won’t get better

Tangled up inside my clothes

And it won’t get better

You’ve not seen enough to know

It won’t get better
