You taught me these chords I thought I'd never learn We were only 15, but we grew fast in the dirt You were the life of the party and a friend wouldn't hurt They say, "Flames die quicker, the brighter they burn" And now I think about who we both become I've done some growin' up, while you're forever young Your parents gave me offense when you were gone They showed me where to turn when I come undone I wish you could hear me and maybe you do I want you to know that I still walk in your shoes Though I'm moving on now, you're still by my side And we'll be road trippin' every step of my life I still walk in your shoes I still walk in your shoes We used to skip class, playing songs on the beach I told you my fears and you told me your dreams Those days by the ocean seem so far out of reach But every year we light a candle into the sea And now I think about who we both become I've done some growin' up, while you're forever young Your parents gave me offense when you were gone They showed me where to turn when I come undone I wish you could hear me and maybe you do I want you to know that I still walk in your shoes Though I'm moving on now, you're still by my side And we'll be road trippin' every step of my life I still walk in your shoes I still walk in your shoes And now I think about who we both become I've done some growin' up, while you're forever young
