Hi It seems like you no longer need me That's okay, I know I no longer fit. You've outgrown me, worn me out, and I do look tired. We've gone on many adventures you see, to places we thought we'd never reach, heights we'd never climb, views that were only sublime Were you tired along the way? I bet you were. Tell me, don't be shy. We've come a very long way, you and I But don't worry about me if you'd like a change. Another may carry you longer, and even farther, you may even feel you've grown stronger. You'd go many paths and crossroads, rivers and seas, upon many paths right through the trees And that's okay, because I've served my purpose after all, when you jumped and stomped and walked and ran, i took the fall But if you want to go on adventures again, I'll be there, in all the places you'd expect me to be. They won't be the same, you may not feel the originality You may feel bored with it, And all it would be is familiar Never feeling the same kind of free But look, see, I have no holes in me, I look tired but there's still durability If you fuss and twitch, i may still mold to your feet Because you were meant to go the distance And i was meant to adjust But that's just the way it is And can never be the way it was.
