My New Dress Up Shoes - The Smith Street Band

You told me in the beer garden that I had changed your life

I laughed at my new dress up shoes and thought, «He's a lucky guy»

And it wasn’t as hard as I thought that it would be to see your arms around his

boney, boney body

And in your mother’s hatchback with the windows rolled down, my dear

You were a fucking joy to be around

But if I’m gonna make anything of myself

I don’t wanna do it alone

Sitting behind a grey desk, staring at a whitewashed wall, tasting last night’s

amyl every time I talk

And my brain cracks, my head slips back, my hearts skips beats for a minute and

you’re softly, softly telling me to just breathe in

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out

If this isn’t a body for true love

Then I’ll slowly cut it down

To spend a week with a clear head and a free chest is becoming an impossible

dream now

And I’ve been dancing past your skinny bodies at the door of a million parties

And I burst out shivering under the night sky and I wish that I was warm in bed

with you

Wish I was warm with you, I wish I was allowed with you

And if we go away then we’ll just come back

Last winter everything was just so perfect, making castles in your bungalow and

holding you from your parents

And no matter how it ended, I’m so glad it happened

You are an amazing person and you’ll do amazing things

You’ll do amazing things, but I won’t come back

If this isn’t a body for true love

Then I’ll slowly cut it down

To spend a week with a clear head and a free chest is becoming and impossible

dream now

And I’ve been dancing past your skinny body at the door of the party

And I burst out shivering under the night sky and I’m wishing I was warm in bed

with you

Wish I was warm with you, I wish I was allowed with you

And if we go away then we’ll just come back
