Lyrics

If I Were in Your Shoes

There's something you don't know, I've walked you off to keep you on your toes.
And there's something you didn't know, I've grown some bones so I can walk you off.
Tonight, tonight.
And everything's alright tonight, tonight

If I were in your shoes, I'd run a thousand miles just to tell you.
If I were in your room, using just my eyes I would tell you
And I would tell you.

There's something, you didn't know. You've got your teeth in me and it hurts.

And I'm a lie away from saying what I really think, this is the bottom of the bottle saying "swim or sink?" And you don't even need me now
Tonight tonight,
And everything's alright tonight, tonight.

If I were in your shoes, I'd run a thousand miles just to tell you.
If I were in your room, using just me eyes, using just my eyes, I would tell you.

If I were in your shoes, I'd run a thousand miles just to tell you.
If I were in your room, using just my eyes I would tell you.

If I were in your shoes, in your shoes, in your...

And I'm a lie away from saying what I really think, this is the bottom of the bottle saying "swim or sink" and you don't even need me now.
