A Night In

I had shoes full of holes When you first took me in The path that you led Wasn't straight to your bed There's no cots to sleep in And you showed me Who I was running from As if I had not known all along Oh my old feet They know these harsh streets They're like old friends They're flat on the ground There's no further down There's no cots to sleep in You said, "Come in Leave them outside the door" Tear off the paper Tear off the carpet Off the floor [Chorus] Now I know you're hurting And I can't be there for you I know you're hurting And I can't be there no more I had shoes full of holes When you first took me in I had calluses, not sores And I'd like to keep them So go turn those sheets I'll get back on the street There's nothing more I can bring to you You think I'm scared of the door Afraid of the floor Well, I'll go and walk right through And I'll show you Who I've been running from It's the feeling of waking And it's gone [Chorus] Now I know you're hurting And I can't be there for you I know you're hurting And I can't be there no more I had shoes full of holes When you first took me in I had calluses, not sores And I'd like to keep them Oh my old feet They know these harsh streets They're like old friends They're flat on the ground There's no further down There's no cots to sleep in You said, "Come in Leave them outside the door" Tear off the paper Tear off the carpet Off the floor [Chorus] And I know you're hurting And I can't be there for you I know you're hurting And I can't be there no more I had shoes full of holes When you first took me in I had calluses, not sores And I'd like to keep them So go turn those sheets I'll get back on the street There's nothing more I can bring to you You think I'm scared of the door Afraid of the floor Well, I'll go and walk right through And I'll show you Who I've been running from It's the feeling of waking And it's gone
