Kicks

Too crazy, I was reading Burning my candle bright, 'cause 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're 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 (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 any more? 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, mmm-mmm 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're 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 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
