Elias M. - Creased Shoes Lyrics

Walked around the world
Never was one for sightseeing
Dirt across the ground
Tracks in the sand don't faze me
I jump over puddles
Stepped inside of mud
Drag my feet on top of the street
Scratch on concrete
Dip my toes inside of water
Test salinity
When I'm angry
Shoes stayed tied through it all
She got creases on her shoes
From a tough life
Cruise through the past like
Filthy white converse looking dark like the night sky
They never fall off
She got scars on her arms from the tough times
Messy hair from no sleep
Always understood how it felt to be lonely
Hands with no nails from anxiety
Smiling through it all
It's not the shoes, it's who fills them
It's not the words, it's the feelings
Drew my favorite characters on the heels of my shoes in the ninth grade
Used to run from bullies, but these ain't faster than my light up ones in middle school
Tried my first drug in these Converse
First drive, mom's accord
Almost crashed in the neighbor's mailbox, good thing I stopped before
These days prefer skateboards, cause I don't really like going fast
Prefer cruising at slow pace, so I don't see my family age
Teardrops on the soles of my feet
Make me taller, older, wiser, smarter
These shoes been through arguing, fights, and breakups
But they also been through birth, light kisses and makeup
Twenty years and they finally ripping
Hoping my soul don't go missing
Me and these shoes are bonded like Mike J and S Pippen
Been with me through everything, don't wanna see them go
Cause my new shoes won't feel the same
My new shoes don't feel the pain that I know
She got creases on her shoes from a tough life
Cruise through the past like
Filthy white converse looking dark like the night sky
They never fall off
She got scars on her arms from the tough times
Messy hair from no sleep
Always understood how it felt to be lonely
Hands with no nails from anxiety
Smiling through it all
It's not the shoes, it's who fills them
It's not the words, it's the feelings
