New Sneakers

My old reebok classics
I don't wear them no more
They got way too worn out
And yeah I'm feeling pretty worn out too

I've been tryna find my footing
I've been getting around
Meet so many new faces
See all these new places in town

So I bought my self some new nike blazers
I'm feeling cool as I cruise through the streets.
But I can't keep them white
They're getting stood on at night
And I'm getting stood on too

These shoes should know where they're going
Where they should be
But they only ever seem to lead me back to your street
And I wish I could tell them
I wish they could see that you don't want me, not at all

I thought that new sneakers lead me somewhere new
But they won't let me keep a little distance from you
I guess it ain't just the sneakers
Guess it's really just me wanting you

Still tryna keep my footing on this uneven ground
I try my best not to fall but you won't care for me at all
And I didn't know what to do

So when I bought myself these new nike blazers
I guess that I was hoping something would change
But ain't nothing I will do will get me away from you
No I've been trying, but it just won't work

These shoes should know where they are going
Where they should be
But they only ever seem to lead me back to your street
And I wish I could tell them
I wish they could see that you don't want me, not at all

I thought that new sneakers lead me somewhere new
But they won't let me keep a little distance from you
I guess it ain't just the sneakers
Guess it's just me wanting you

I guess it ain't just the sneakers
Guess it ain't really the sneakers
That keep leading me to
Keep leading me to you

So when I've had too much to drink I'm trudging home at night
I can barely speak, can't even walk in a straight line
But these trusty old sneakers gonna lead me back to what they know
To where they've always been

So taking step by step I'm tryna get away
I'm tryna fight these new sneakers leading me astray
But ain't nothing I've been doing seems to get me away from you
(From you)

I thought that new sneakers lead me somewhere new
But they won't let me keep a little distance from you
I guess it ain't just the sneakers
Guess it's just me wanting you
I guess it ain't just the sneakers
Guess it's just me wanting you
