Shoe to Drop Songtext
von Ben Platt

Sammy had a little hand-me-down mansion
Matty never met a silver spoon
Caught fire at a party in the canyon
Underneath the moon
Sammy′s thinking that the sky is gonna fall down
Matty's never been scared to death
Sammy hits the panic button, Matty says
"Calm down, baby, stop and take a breath
Like, Ooo, Ooo

Life is rain, ain′t that funny?
You get sad, I'll get sunny
Honey, go and wring your hands
'Cause as long as I′m not
I′ll be two-stepping
While you're waiting on the other shoe to drop!"


A year later Sammy planned a little picnic
The tell-your-kids-about-it-someday kind
Pulled out a ring and said, "Matty, what ya doin′
For the rest of your lifе?"
Matty said, "I don't got a lot to offer
Just depression and studеnt debt..."
Sammy laughed and said, "Baby, let me stop ya
Like you said, just take a breath
Like, Ooo, Ooo

Life is rain, ain′t that funny?
You get sad, I'll get sunny
Honey, go and wring your hands
′Cause as long as I'm not
I'll be two-stepping
While you′re waiting on the other shoe to drop!"

I′m your glass-half-empty
You're my we′ve-got-plenty
We're not easy
And we′re not pretending to be
When I'm spinning out
You′re breathing in and out
When worry's winning out
I'll say to you
Ooo Ooo


Life is rain, ain′t that funny?
You get sad, I′ll get sunny
Honey, go and wring your hands
'Cause as long as I′m not
I'll be two-stepping, getting wet
Cause you can bet that
Life is hard, life is heavy
Don′t we know that already?
Honey go and wring your hands cause as long as I'm not
I′ll be two-stepping
While you're waiting on the other shoe
