It's been a crazy time for us
Of pushing all our limits
Snapping necks and breaking balls
Now you'd have done the same

But you were baking biscuits
While I went, bent the law
Sacrificing something
As you counted all my flaws

Why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over

So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over and walk in my shoes

You want to live freely
Don't want to die
You want it?
You got it
You chase the high

You want to be out there
You want to race
You want to take over
Just gotta play

Why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over

So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over and walk in my shoes

I'm a good person
Don't want to fight with no one
But you piss me off
You keep pushing, pushing

You'd best step off the gas boy
All best are off
Fuck you
You taste like toxic poison
I'll wash my hands of you

Why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over

So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over and walk in my shoes
Walk in my shoes

Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over

Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
