z - Misc. i know i've put holes in anothers shoes
and i know i've got holes in my own
i know you once had holes made in yours, too
don't you know you put holes in my soles?
if you could take ten paces across my soul,
could you not take one or two with my legs?
before you take another shot at my life,
could you not take one or two by my side?
i've been beating myself up for the past
letting you step over me
but now i'm taking myself a stand
seeing if you can live in my feet,
seeing if you can wear my shoes,
when you know just how i feel
seeing if you can understand
don't you know what it means to be a friend?
i know i've put holes in anothers shoes
and i know there were moments i stepped on your toes
yea, i...
...over stepped my bounds
but know i'd travel around the world
don't you see i've already crossed continents
gone to a foreign land
where you were the only thing familiar
...familiar to me...
well i've been beating myself up for the past
letting you step over me
but now i'm taking myself a stand
seeing if you can live in my feet,
seeing if you can wear my shoes,
when you know just how i feel
seeing if you can understand
don't you know what it means to be a friend?
it seems to me that you're old enough
where you've walked the dark corners of the world
neon lights calling you in
have you forgotten the sunlit fields where we begin?
have you forgotten the barefoot fields where we begin?
tell me
have you forgotten there is still two sides to possibility,
tell me
tell me,
if you doubted the worlds mere existance,
would you bring about armageddon?
would you try to end it,
because you weren't sure it existed?
see, if my heart were a planet
this would be Revelations
i'm not trying to help it happen
Just bringing you this revelation
that uncertainty isn't a reason to throw it all away
it isn't a reason to hurt somebody else
that friendship is a two way street this is coming full circle
and that only time in someone elses shoes can tell
...tell me,
..tell you..
tell us that this friendship is made to last
but it can't begin without you so try to understand
i know i've put holes in anothers shoes
and i know i've got holes in my own
i know you once had holes made in yours, too
don't you know you put holes in my soles?
if you could take ten paces across my soul,
could you not take one or two with my legs?
before you take another shot at my life,
could you not take one or two by my side?
i've been beating myself up for the past
letting you step over me
but now i'm taking myself a stand
seeing if you can live in my feet,
seeing if you can wear my shoes,
when you know just how i feel
seeing if you can understand
do you know what it means to be a friend?
