Screw New Shoes

from Kansas EP by Rob Rice

/

lyrics

I saw that you were empty,
so I thought I'd fill you up
With words of love and safety,
and to let you know that
you are enough for me.

But it didn't take long for you to
start leaking and to run dry.
Now I'm writing this just to tell you
I'll be crazy for you until the day I die.

Now that I'm holding you, girl,
I know there's no one who will
fit me as good as you do,
there's no point in trying on new shoes
if your favorite pair fits good.

I need your laugh and your smile,
They make me feel like a child.
I know that anything is better when
I'm doing it with you,
So why wouldn't I want to?

Can't you see that it has
always been this way?
From the start I've known
not to let you get away...

Some nights I lay in bed and
think of how lucky I am,
and then I think about that night
I met you soldering at school,
with your skirt hovering the ground.

We sang our favorite songs and
I've been falling for you since.
I don't think anyone can
make me feel as happy as your do,
and I'll never stop falling for you.

Can't you see that it has
always been this way?
From the start I've known
not to let you get away...
