Lyrics
They’ve been there longer than I thought
There’s a pair of boots by the doorway
Covered in another year
Still standing right here
Every mile they ever carried
Still living in the seams
Like unfinished dreams
I don’t wear them like before
Still I can’t move them from that door
Those boots by the door still waiting
Like I’m leaving any day
Like the world still needs me somewhere far away
Every step I used to take
Still echoes in their shape
Like a promise I ain’t ready yet to break
Yeah I thought I left that road behind
But those boots still say it’s mine
There’s a quiet in the morning
That I never used to know
Now nowhere I must go
Still I hear the distance calling
Like a voice I can’t outrun
Even now it’s not done
Every road I walked before
Still standing at that door
Those boots by the door still waiting
Like I’m leaving any day
Like the world still needs me somewhere far away
Every step I used to take
Still echoes in their shape
Like a promise I ain’t ready yet to break
Yeah I thought I left that road behind
But those boots still say it’s mine
Maybe letting go ain’t walking away
Maybe it’s learning how to stay
Those boots by the door still waiting
Like I’m leaving any day
Like the world still needs me somewhere far away
Every step I used to take
Still echoes in their shape
Like a promise I ain’t ready yet to break
Yeah I thought I left that road behind
But those boots still say it’s mine
Still waiting there
By the door
