Woke up cold one Tuesday, I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
I felt like there was something missing in my day-to-day life
So I quickly opened the wardrobe, pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes that were ripped around the seams
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me
Hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling
It's so bright and bold, short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine and I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
So wearing my brand new shoes
Woke up late one Thursday, and I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes
And I felt like there were two days missing as I focused on the time
I made my way to the kitchen
But I had to stop from the shocker, but I found the room full of all of my friends
All dancing round and round
And I thought, hello, new shoes but buying blues
Hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling
It's so bright and bold, short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine and I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
So wearing my brand new shoes
Take me wandering through these streets, where bright lights and angels
Stone to stone, they take me on, I'm walking to your wake of dawn
Take me wandering through these streets, where bright lights and angels meet
Stone to stone, they take me on, I'm walking to your wake of dawn
Hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling
It's so bright and bold, short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine and I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
So wearing my brand new shoes
Hey, I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything's right
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling
It's so bright and bold, short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine and I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
So wearing my brand new shoes
