Shoelaces Lyrics

I'm packing my bags and I'm tying my shoelaces tight

I am ready to fly

Burning the candle at both ends tonight

I will gather the past in a pile

Oh, don't tell me to go

I know it's time, I know

Oh, stop saying it slower

I heard you the first time you spoke

I'll strike the match

There'll be beauty for ashes

I promise you I'll let it burn

I'll try to forget you so I won't regret you and still

Can treasure the lessons I've learned

Oh, don't tell me to go

I know it's time, I know

Oh, stop saying it slower

I heard you the first time you spoke

I didn't anticipate that you'd be the one to say we're through

I wasn't ready for this

I couldn't calculate your moves

Now I need a moment to myself

To gather my life from off these shelves

Just give me some time

Just a minute to find the door

I promise I won't come back anymore

Don't tell me to go

I know it's time, I know

Oh, stop saying it slower

I heard you the first time you spoke

Oh, don't tell me to go

I know it's time, I know

Oh, stop saying it slower

I heard you the first time
