I Like Your Shoes

Sixteen
Come to meet me
From across the room
Smokescreen
I whisper to you
Here's an idea, just for kicks
Let's dance with the cool kids
When you're mad at the world for no real reason
Parties end and you don't feel queasy
Take my hand, you've lost your friends
Take my hand, I'll help you breathe again
After eighteen
Miss your lost naivety
Keep your eyes on me
As I try to mend the pieces
Of a breaking heart
Babe I insist that we dance with the cool kids
Let's dance with the cool kids
You better act your age for no real reason
Fluctuate, the changing seasons
Masquerade as innocence dies
Step on your toes and spill your drink come midnight
My heart melts away as your smile dissipates from your face
I said 'I like your shoes and hair like that'
Just an awkward silence as I look back
If we're young and dumb it all makes sense
Now its faded looks and half-hearted compliments
Years go by and I can't escape
Hooked on your love, a drugged up state
Can't pull away, I'm going insane
Reach out as I die from my slowly collapsing veins
My heart wrenches for you
Will we ever be the same
We'll never be the same

I cross my heart and I hope to die
Fingers crossed on my life
Nothing left but my hopeless self
A dirty new addition to your trophy shelf
Don't you wanna be famous?
You couldn't blame us if we tried
There's nothing between us
There's no use telling me the time
I'm on my own way back to you
I'm on my own way back to you
Aching for moments we can't recreate
Illusion of trust in my drugged up state
Fall back in your arms
Nothing too complicated
I assume it's too good to be true
Should I find my way back to you?
Life is conditional, provisional, multi coloured fish
And we're all the other animals trapped in a cage
That we know as the sea but can’t we believe it's so easy
Plenty to choose but don't you read the news
We're dying so here's another planet to abuse
Plenty to choose but don't you read the news
We're dying
But maybe I'm foolish
You're giggling through this
What would your mates think?
'Forget him, he's stupid
He doesn't exist, he's on the TV'
Don't trade your honesty for relatability
Love is a waiting game
And I've waited long enough for you
Ache for the moment we can't get back
Ache for the moment we can't get back
Ache for the moment we can't get back
Ache for the moment we can't get back
It all comes down to this
The girl of my dreams
Refers to me as a near miss
Lock the door, shut me down
Give me a call when you've figured it out
I say it's fine baby if you're with somebody new
This isn't the way, I've got nothing to prove but
I hate your hair and I hate your shoes
I guess I'm just in love with the fucking thought of you
