Paper Shoes Lyrics
I fly/I soar/this I adore. & then like a locomotive
the sound of your sorrow comes. I’m tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I’ve outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I’d rather be alone
you’re ‘bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
but pain will roll off like water on feather.
You’d fly/you’d soar. But then like a locomotive
the sound of your sorrow comes. I’m tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better but I think I’ve outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I’d rather be on my own
you’re ‘bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
but pain will roll off like water on feathers. I’m tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
but I think I’ve outgrown that horsehair sweater.

burnt out on drugs. like the song though
I agree that this song is about about a relationship where one person keeps bringing the other one down with their pesimism but I also think it could be about a potential relationship where 1 person is always there for the other & but when he needs them their unreliable so they'd rather be alone than attempt any longer. Either way love this song & inc!

I think its about being in a relationship with a person who's own sadness/issues is becoming to much and is bring you down. So much so that you would rather be alone than with someone who has rain clouds following them at all times
absolutely love this song
Brandon is quite simply a genius, the way he uses language and imagry is awesome. i think it's about waking up and realising it's a chore to be with your partner, that you've grown tired of walking on eggshells..
way to stick it to carolyn murphy! I think...
When I first heard the intro of this song, I swear it sounds a bit like 3 Libras by APC. :D Awesome song.
I agree with aliawesome, It sounds to me like it's being sung to a person who's attitude is getting the singer down. Their mood is all over the place - as reliable as paper shoes in bad weather. The part where he says "I'd rather be on my own" gives us the idea that it is probably an intimate relationship.
This is a great song that I think most people should be able to relate to.
This song sort of reminds me musically of echo. Which could never be a bad thing :)
this song is about a relationship gone sour. when you can remember reasons why you fell for a person but they have lost those qualities. almost as though the two people have burnt each other out.
this song is pretty good, album is wicked good, but this song reminds me of a relationship i just got out of and like idk we burnt each other out and my gf's attitude was def bringing the whole thing down, idk i guess i agree with aliawesome
