Too crazy, I was reading
Burning my candle bright, cuz it's right in season
And turning towards my rice-based vice, believing
That it's everything I'll ever need
Who cares, slappa my face, face the baseless
Claims I made to lay waste to the chasing
Re-erasing every tasting I had
Developed on the five slash three
Then I see you there, and I become aware
My kicks, my favorite pair, are so inadequate
And then I see you there, and I become aware
My kicks, my favorite pair, of a new graduate
But you knock me off of my feet
Moving two aisles to see
Everything I need to be
Oh-oh, when I lace em up, I'm better than I was
It must have worked
I thank the Lord for the hurt
I've made the choice between nerves
And her, the salt of the earth
Blessed be the lonely
For ever waking up
What's real anymore
Another old key to another locked door
Then another false dream and I'm really not sure
What all this risk is with no reward
You see I'm working for my betterment
And I know you typically deal with better men
And after a couple of years of settling, everybody's meddling
Trying to reconnect me in a way that I have never been
I'm looking for the same thing
A life that needs what I'm making
And the kind of girl who won't change me
And the kinda laces to save me
And then I see you there, and I become aware
My kicks, my favorite pair, are so inadequate
And then I see you there, and I become aware
My kicks, my favorite pair, of a new graduate
But you knock me off of my feet
Moving two aisles to see
Everything I need to be
Oh-oh, when I lace em up, I'm better than I was
Knockin' me off of my feet
Moving two aisles to see
Everything I need to be
Oh-oh, when I lace em up, I'm better than I was
