lyrics

In my shoes you might be buying new ones sooner
In my stead you might have cared a little more
Just where you chose to set your soles down
Well I'm pleased how well they've worn
kissing all the streets they've known.

But more and more ties I was sure would never strain or slacken
are tugging taut or worse the knots are slipping over time.
And where before I'd bump against chance and ride my luck a while
Happen-stance seems less affording. When did we become so boring?

My creeping disengagement
has had of me
all that I wish to allow
And now I need
to resuscitate
some self governance
and any chance of getting out the house.

In my shoes I hope that I can be happy.
'In my stead' means not what it meant before.
Just where these choices lead is not defined.
But I'm damned if I ignore
my ageing and my agency anymore.
