Afraid To Walk

“I'll walk in these shoes, Ill hold your hand even though were not the same.
Ill tie these laces so damn tight, with these I can even stand in the rain.”

I got shoes you gave me they have holes everywhere
they don't make me run faster, they aren't even comfortable.
but they've helped me walk in the right direction for these past two years
this is how I know
I'm not scared anymore

we love what we hated. we sing different songs
but that part of you isn't lost now its in your pocket

If you will be my legs to keep me running, I'll be your shoulder to cry on
If you will be my mind to think this through, I'll be the one that saves you

Take two steps back so you can take a good look around
it wont take long until it hits you, your three steps closer.
I've seen this before... this run around (this runaround)
change is bad I get it.
but this is how I got to you

an unopened door doesn't mean its locked
so why are you still looking for the key.
an unopened door doesn't mean its locked
We're just looking around for what's already found
make your move my friend.

君がくれた靴で歩き続けるよ。
君と僕はあまり似てないけど
靴ひもをきつく締めれば
雨の中でも立っていられるよ

君がくれた靴を持ってる、穴だらけだよ。
その靴を履いても全然速くならないし、正直履き心地も悪い。
でもこの靴を貰って二年経つけど、履いている時はずっと正しい道を歩いてる気がする。
この靴を履いててわかった, 怖いと思っていた物がすべて消えたよ。

嫌いなものを好きになって、歌う曲も変わってきた。
でも昔の自分はまだいるよ。見つけて拾う事もできるよ。

君が僕の足になって走り続けさせてくれるのなら、僕は君が悲しい時,頭をのせる肩なるよ。
君が俺の頭になって考え事を消してくれたら、俺は君を救ってあげられるよ。

たまには二歩下がったてごらん。気づかずに三歩前進している事がある。
もう見た事あるよ。。いつも同じ事だよ。
でも君に会えたのもこのおかげなんだよ。

ただ扉が閉まってるからって鍵がかかってる訳じゃないんだからそんな鍵探さなくていいんだよ。
もう見つかってる物を君は探そうとしてる。
さあ君はどう出るんだ？

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
