Left Shoe Squeaks

One by one The lights go out My left shoe squeaks I’m freaking out Passing by That same old GS25 I check my phone Just to stay calm When you look up I talk about the weather Had it all planned But I’m not that clever Don’t know why I let it drop Not yet Don’t stop Keep that step Don’t trip now Funny how I mess it up right now Had one thing On my tongue Let it go Left it undone Side by side Matching your pace Funny how I hate this little space Came this far Said nothing new Almost said the truth to you Late bus missed Cold air bites Your hair is A mess tonight Don’t say much Walk with me My pockets are empty As they always be So close now You know that Fumbling for my keys I look like a fool Shadows leaning On the brick wall One more block Don’t break stride Say it wrong But don’t you hide Keep that step Don’t trip now Funny how I mess it up right now Had one thing On my tongue Let it go Left it undone Side by side Matching your pace Funny how I hate this little space Came this far Said nothing new Almost said the truth to you One by one The lights go out You look over I’m still just walking
