My shoes are stuck...

If you were in my shoes

Your toes would be crunched

But at least then you could

Stand where I stand,

See what I see,

Feel how I feel.

You see I don't like my

Own view anymore-

What I see from these eyes,

Standing in these shoes,

Stuck in this spot.

If you were in my shoes,

Then I'd be in yours

My feet swimming

Where yours fit just right,

And I suppose this reminds me

Of playing in my dad's shoes

As a kid...

His made me feel big

Yours just make me feel small.

So how do you like my view?

How do you like me in your shoes,

Treading on your heart

As you tread on mine?

Don't try to run,

My shoes are stuck.
