The Bottoms of Our Shoes

Miranda Takaki

Intro: x2 Verse 1: Stare me down, shake me up for you only live once spoil me, turn me special. no one likes a bad sport. i concluded long ago that your wires had been cut and that's a flaw Bridge 1: I scratched the metal, and it cut me back where are the morals and the thanks? and all the blankets of angst and promise wrap themselves around my head Chorus: When you're speaking, don't hold your tongue 'cause the population likes to hear what you say and while you're livin', don't hold your breathe 'cause the door will only stay open for so long but when you're walkin' be careful who you step on then have the audacity to look to the bottoms of your shoes Verse 2: To avoid piercing sighs, keep your eyes straight ahead. burn me, cut me open. can't afford to be late. I grind my coffee at midnight and it waits for you there in styrofoam Bridge 2: The clock is crying; he doesn't know when. but it's okay 'cause the sun's still up. your stares turn to the other direction and ice heats up and heartbeats melt Chorus {to look to the bottoms of your} shoes and when they break, guess who'll be watchin' guess who'll be markin' their words and when i break, i won't be askin', no. i won't be askin'. stare me down, shake me up for you only live once.
