New shoes

by Paolo Nutini

Album: These streets

Woke up cold one tuesday, 
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick, 
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life, 
So i quickly opened the wardrobe, 
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean, 
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes, 
That were ripped around the seams, 
And i thought these shoes just don't suit me.

{Refrain:}
Hey, I put some new shoes on, 
And suddenly everything is right, 
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling, 
It so inviting, 
Oh, short on money, 
But long on time, 
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine, 
And i'm running late, 
And i dont need an excuse, 
'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.

Woke up late one thursday, 
And i'm seeing stars as i'm rubbing my eyes, 
And i felt like there were two days missing, 
As i focused all the time, 
And i made my way to the kitchen, 
But i had to stop from the shock of what i found, 
A room full of all my friends dancing round and round, 
And i thought hello new shoes, 
Byebye them blues.

{au Refrain}

Take me wondering through these streets, 
Where bright lights and angels meet, 
Stone to stone they take me on, 
Im walking to the break of dawn.

{au Refrain, x2}
