Shoelaces Songtext
von Gayle Skidmore

I′m packing my bags and I'm tying my shoelaces tight
I am ready to fly
Burning the candle at both ends tonight
I will gather the past in a pile

Oh, don′t tell me to go
I know it's time, I know
Oh, stop saying it slower
I heard you the first time you spoke

I'll strike the match
There′ll be beauty for ashes
I promise you I′ll let it burn
I'll try to forget you so I won′t regret you and still
Can treasure the lessons I've learned


Oh, don′t tell me to go
I know it's time, I know
Oh, stop saying it slower
I heard you the first time you spoke

I didn′t anticipate that you'd be the one to say we're through
I wasn′t ready for this
I couldn′t calculate your moves

Now I need a moment to myself
To gather my life from off these shelves
Just give me some time
Just a minute to find the door
I promise I won't come back anymore

Don′t tell me to go
I know it's time, I know
Oh, stop saying it slower
I heard you the first time you spoke

Oh, don′t tell me to go
I know it's time, I know
Oh, stop saying it slower
I heard you the first time
