life, barefoot

you're still a pebble in my shoe

i don't know why i can't shake loose from you

i know that this is out of line

but is it so wrong just to pry?

i never threw them away

they're still inside that vault

the one i keep inside my mind

the one you knew about

no. she says she'll already know

exactly where i stand

don't make this more than it was

i don't think that i can

she says it's haunting her

i can't see how the beauty

of it all bleeds through

i led her astray

i let her walk a thousand miles

in the same pair of shoes

i hope you think i'm afraid

to walk back alone

i never threw them away

they're still inside that vault

the one i keep inside my mind

the one you knew about

no. she says she'll already know

exactly where i stand

don't make this more than it was

i don't think that i can

someday i'll make it back to you

and when i do

i pray you'll shut the door

trust me it won't hurt at all

i've already buried who i used to be

i never threw them away

they're still inside that vault

the one i keep inside my mind

the one you knew about

no. she says she'll already know

exactly where i stand

don't make this more than it was

i don't think that i can
