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
