Hung Out to Dry

It started out like any fairy tale
Ankle socks bought in a clearance sale
We were new, we had no clue
What life was like inside a shoe
It didn't matter what we had to do
As long as I had you to see it through

Now it seems as if you're needing more
You're wanting freedom and to feel the floor
You're on the move, you have to prove
That you can do it all but you've
Forgotten that you're sock enough for me
But maybe that was just my fantasy

I believe in love and fate
In soles that find that perfect mate
But who am I to be the one to say
That we were meant to be this way
I'm the kind of sock to leave
My heart out on my sleeve
And be there standing by
'Til I'm hung out to dry

Countless cycles, countless days have gone
But today feels like our denouement
We disagree, it's hard to see
Why you need much more than me
Instead you dream of bigger things to be
But ankle socks belong beneath a knee

I believe in love and fate
In soles that find that perfect mate
But who am I to be the one to say
That we were meant to be this way
I'm the kind of sock to leave
My heart out on my sleeve
And be there standing by
'Til I'm hung out to dry

How can a pair just grow apart
Not even care, not a broken heart
How can a sock think he'll be free
When his human's not an amputee
Why do I long for how we matched
For the tag that kept us attached
Because I know my threads are spun
Just for you, Kal, 'cause you're the one
You're the one

I believe in love and fate
In soles that find that perfect mate
But who am I to be the one to say
That we were meant to be this way
I'm the kind of sock to leave
My heart out on my sleeve
And be there standing by
'Til I'm hung out to dry
I'll be there standing by until I'm
Hung out to dry
