Cool Your Boots

Across 50 states of mind

I didn't feel inclined

You waited yesterday

I didn't come your way

Now time is moving on

I know it won't be long

Till I'm shuffling away

With nothing more to say

When I'm printed on your wall

My face won't change at all

The smile beneath my hair

Hangs lifeless in the air

Like a net in water

I'm running through it all

And I'm shuffling away

With nothing more to say

It's been preying on my mind

And now I'm just resigned

You smile for yesterday

I think I'm in the way

You seem concerned

And say I should slow down

But how can I see the stars

If my feet are on the ground?
