ã Tim Moyer 1995

I have a sense of a perfect life running right behind me

That’s the one with the sugar and spice and everything I wanted to be

A silent shadow for so many years, but now I can hear it

A sonic boom ringing in my ears

Now I’m giving into it

I’m walking in my own shoes

Feeling right at home

Now I’m walking in my own shoes

I don’t know why it took me so long

Maybe it was my time for lessons

That made me able

Maybe it was a cosmic calamity

I was Rett when I should’ve been Gable

CHORUS

I spent so many years in someone else’s shoes

My feet start to form to seams and the groves

Paralyzed for so long now I can wiggle my toes

I hope I never forget where these feet want to go

Now I spend all my time just polishing

And adjusting the laces

I gotta hold myself back from hollering
