Old Shoes

It's a tale of old shoes
And soles of your feet
I've got blisters from running
On beaches and streets
I've been knocked down and out
I've got eyes black and blue
'Cause I'm hit in the face
When I'm talking to you
And oh, don't lie down
As soon as I sleep, you'll be leaving this town
Oh, don't lie down
'Cause I'm lost and I'm young, I've got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep, you'll be leaving this town
It's a tale of tied hands
And holiday scenes
I've got romance in places
That I've never been
And I'll say a hundred times
That I'm all you need
But you swear you're just stubborn
And I'm just naïve
And oh, don't lie down
As soon as I sleep, you'll be leaving this town
Oh, don't lie down
'Cause I'm lost and I'm young, I've got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep, you'll be leaving this town
It's a tale of old shoes
And soles of your feet
I've got blisters from running
On beaches and streets
In the absence of sound
Will you sing back to me?
Would you whisper the thoughts,
And tell me to dream?
And oh, don't lie down
As soon as I sleep, you'll be leaving this town
Oh, don't lie down
'Cause I'm lost and I'm young, I've got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep, you'll be leaving this town
Oh I'm lost and I'm young, I've got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep, you'll be leaving this town
Oh, if I fall asleep, you'll be leaving this town
