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
