Lyrics

Footprints

[Verse 1]

Lately I've felt the ice brush off your shoulder

It's slowly getting colder

There’s a thousand things you do to test my patience

Mistaken for ghosts who knelt before her

Turned her back and left them in the corner

[Chorus]

Embraced it

I tabled all my aces but I can’t seem to break ahead

(Can’t seem to break ahead)

I'm anxious

It’s fucking with my chances of redemption

(Redemption)

[Verse 2]

I'm still that kid you don't remember

Still got hot rocks in my jeans

Amongst the others speaking parseltongue

And I still don't know what it means

I held back my keep sakes

The difference a day makes

I held more than my lungs could take

And now we're stalked by trails of vapour

[Chorus]

Embraced it

I tabled all my aces but I can’t seem to break ahead

(Can’t seem to break ahead)

I'm anxious

It’s fucking with my chances of redemption

(Redemption)

Footprints embedded in my skin

Lovestruck so I can never win

It’s pulling me back

Take everything I have

Embraced it

I tabled all my aces but I can’t seem to break ahead

(Can’t seem to break ahead)

I'm anxious

It’s fucking with my chances of redemption

(Redemption)

Footprints embedded in my skin

Lovestruck so I can never win

It’s pulling me back

Take everything I have
