Lately I've been hard to reach, I've been too long on my own
Everyone has a private world, Where they can be alone, Are you calling me, are you trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you
I'm just so fuckin' depressed, I just can seem to get out this slump
If I could just get over this hump But I need something to pull me out this dump
I took my bruises, took my lumps
Fell down and I got right back up
But I need that spark to get psyched back up
In order for me to pick that mic back up I don't know how I pry away
And I ended up in this position I'm in I starting to feel distant again
So I decided just to pick this pen Up and tried to make an attempt to vent
But I just can't admit I know some shits so hard to swallow And I just can't sit back and wallow In my own sorrow But I know one fact I'll be one tough act to follow One tough act to follow CopyOne tough act to follow
Here today, gone tomorrow But you have to walk a thousand miles
Walk my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to be me
Ill be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what I'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other's mind
Just to see what we find
Look at shit through each other's eyes
I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
Everything is so tense and gloom
I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room Just as soon as I walk in
It's like all eyes on me So I try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation
Like I want that...
I'm not looking for extra attention I just want to be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
I don't need fucking man servin' Tryin to follow me around, and wipe my ass Laugh at every single joke I crack
And half of them ain't even funny like that Ahh Marshall, you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, god damn Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
So why don't you all sit down Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
Hell, we don't have to trade our shoes And you don't have to walk no thousand miles
Walk my shoes, just to see What it's like, to be me I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what I'd be like to Feel your pain, you feel mine Go inside each other's mind
Just to see what we find Look at shit through each other's eyes But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful Oh
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you sO Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you sO
Nobody asked for life to deal us With these bullshit hands with doubt
We have to take these cards ourselves And flip them, don't expect no help
Now I could have either just Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
But take this situation in which I'm placed in and get up and get my ownI was never the type of kid To wait but I know to unpack his bags Never sat on the porch and hoped and prayed For a dad to show up who never did I just wanted to fit in Every single place Every school I went I dreamed of being that cool kid Even if it meant acting stupid Aunt Edna always told me Keep making that face till it gets stuck like that
Meanwhile I'm just standing there Holding my tongue up trying to talk like this
Till I stuck my tungue on the frozen stop sign poll at 8 years old
I learned my lesson and cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more
But I already told you my whole life story
Not just based on my description
Cause where you see it from where you're sitting
Is probably 110% different
I guess we would have to walk a mile
In each other's shoes, at least
What size you wear?
I wear tens
Let's see if you can fit your feet
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so
Lately I've been hard to reach I've been too long on my own Everyone has a private world
Where they can be alone... sOoOoo Are you calling me, are you trying to get through O
Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you sOoOoo Oo Oo
And to the rest of the world, god gave you the shoes
That fit you, so put em on and wear em
And be yourself man, be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds corny,
Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
