Pins and Needles Songtext
von Amanda Rose Riley

My feet were made to take me places
To wander the earth′s circumference
Where I could win friends, I could achieve greatness
Just getting out there makes the difference
And I could be cutting my teeth at the open mics
In all the big cities I could dream
But instead I'm slaving over a post with five likes
And songs no one hears but my family


And I sit here so long on top of my feet
Stopping the blood from circulating
That I get pins and needles
And I′ve got to get up and go

And I don't blame myself for the fear
Of leaping right into something new
Inside the comfort zone things are clearer
And stepping out is terrifying to do
But though I know it'll be painful and strange
To step directly on that sleepy foot
Isn′t this the whole reason I even came
To take this road as far as I could?


But deep down I know if I′m not using this feet
That I'll be sorry because they′ll go to sleep forever
So I feel my pins and needles
Saying I've got to get up and go
