Sneakers

Lyrics

[Intro] I'm sor— [Verse 1] I'm sorry that you've come to me In dreams like it's the only way That you can find to talk to me When I saw you last We were fraying at the edges I never patch shit up And now we're a mound [Verse 2] Thought I saw you wearing boots But knew it wasn't really you Because you wear Sneakers in the winter Your queerness was a shiver Slush seeping in your soles Now your feet are wet And I can't wring you out [Chorus] And, oh, I'm sorry that you had to see that I'm sorry that you had to see me like that [Verse 3] Chest of frenzy when I saw you Working my old summer job It singed a nerve I thought was lost Here I was measuring my scars Envisioning yours twice as long Your skin is smooth and shining like My street when it rains [Verse 4] Thought I saw your feet were bare But knew you weren't really there Because you wear sneakers By the seaside Your silence was a nuisance And sticking to my socks Now my floors are filthy I can't rinse them off [Chorus] And oh I'm sorry that you had to see that I'm sorry that you had to see me like that
