Walking Shoes Lyrics

Sometimes you know things

They go so fast

All at once

I'm wondering why

But I have learned not to ask

Now there comes a time

You put on your walking shoes

You head on down the path

I don't want to see the back of you

But it ain't my gift to wrap

This is not my first goodbye

To a good thing I hoped might last

This is not the first time

I fell too hard too fast

Too fast

It happens all at once

Before we even realize

It happens all at once

The way a moth's drawn to the light

So put on your walking shoes

And head on down the path

Don't let me see the back of you

Don't say how we went bad

'Cuz I'm not going to shake you off

Like some old ratty coat

That kept me warm and stylish once

But now just leaves me cold

Leaves me cold

So put on your walking shoes

And head off in the night

Close the door behind you

And I'll put out the light

'Cuz this is not my first goodbye

And I know how it ends

I'll be all alone tonight

We'll say we're just friends

Just friends

It happens all at once

Before we even find our aim

It happens all at once

The way a moth burns in the flame
