New Shoes

when i fell from your good grace, it was all a big mistake
i don't do well on the phone, i need to get you all alone
22 years is not enough to show you proof of my good stuff
i take my wings off at the door and pick my bones up off the floor

so we've walked
so many miles
in worn out shoes
and i will not lie,
'cause i got the blues
and i wish i knew

now i'm swimming in the background
drifting in the lost and found
born into a sunday,
maybe i'll be saved someday
can't be late for your fate 'cause it just won't wait
you grow up and they say that you can't escape
everyday is your own and it's all you've got
just a wish and a prayer and another shot

so we've walked
so many miles
in worn out shoes
and i will not lie,
'cause i got the blues
and i wish i knew

and if i had a crystall ball,
baby we all would have one too
and then we'd all know what to do,
and maybe we all would tell the truth
22 years and now i'm stuck,
so goodbye and so good luck
i see the future in a cup
sit with me and drink it up

now i'm swimming in the background
drifting in the lost and found
born into a sunday,
maybe i'll be saved someday
can't be late for your fate 'cause it just won't wait
you grow up and they say that you can't escape
everyday is your own and it's all you've got
just a wish and a prayer and another shot

if you can't find your way then the way finds you
everyday you're defined by the things you do
everyday that you wake you're reborn brand new
so get up find your feet and walk in new shoes again

walk in new shoes again
walk in new shoes again
walk in new shoes again
