Shoes Songtext
von MICO

Staying at Mike′s 'til the end of June, he went back home
So I′m in his room, it's cool
Lonely, too
I'd get up at 11, just to go outside
Don′t have to leave the house, but I feel like tryin′

I'm sitting on a chair, tryna count the leaves
That fall onto the grass as the neighbors leave
And shut their doors enough to shake the ground

Oh, I keep singing thoughts
As if that makes them leave my mind
Resort to watching other people live their lives
And give them mine, like trading places


As if I could escape it, ′cause when everything stops
But the ceiling fan in my room
The thought creeps in that
The person I saw in the mirror can't fill my shoes

So I started drinking coffee at a place that I like
On the Adelaide West near the park that I′d lie awake in
With my friends after getting wasted
No, it doesn't even matter that I hate the taste
I just wanna hear the chatter from a different table

I let the noise replace what′s in my mind
Instead of facing things I thought I left behind
I'd rather listen to a stranger live their life
And give them mine, like trading places

As if I could escape it, 'cause when everything stops
But the ceiling fan in my room
The thought creeps in that
The person I saw in the mirror can′t fill my shoes
