Walk In Your Shoes

(album: Nico Santos - 2020)

You taught me these chords I thought I'd never learn
We were only fifteen, but we grew fast in the dirt
You were the life of the party and a friend when it hurt
They say "Flames die quicker, the brighter they burn"

And now I think about who we'd both become
I've done some growing up while you're forever young
Your parents gave me your vans when you were gone
They show me where to turn when I come undone

I wish you could hear me and maybe you do
I want you to know that I still walk in your shoes
Though I'm moving on now, you're still by my side
And we'll be roadtripping every step of my life
I still walk in your shoes
Yeah, I still walk in your shoes

We used to skip class, playing songs on the beach
I told you my fears and you told me your dreams
Those days by the ocean seem so far out of reach
But every year we light a candle into the sea

And now I think about who we'd both become
I've done some growing up while you're forever young
Your parents gave me your vans when you were gone
They show me where to turn when I come undone

I wish you could hear me and maybe you do
I want you to know that I still walk in your shoes
Though I'm moving on now, you're still by my side
And we'll be roadtripping every step of my life
I still walk in your shoes

I'm taking my sorrow
Because I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for you
I'm trying to follow in the footsteps that you choose

I wish you could hear me and maybe you do
I want you to know that I still walk in your shoes
Though I'm moving on now, you're still by my side
And we'll be roadtripping every step of my life
I still walk in your shoes
Yeah, I still walk in your shoes
