about

It's about leaving someone or a situation where it feels like the experience has become a huge weight that's being carried. How scary it is to go thru the process of removing oneself from that situation and then the immense feeling of freedom that goes along with releasing that burden.

lyrics

Old Shoes

I've got one foot out the door
My old shoes and an empty suitcase
You won't rag me no more
I won't be around when you wake
I've given all there is to take

CHORUS:
If you can't change it
can't carry it, leave it behind
It's too heavy, get it off my back
Lift these burdens

I've got one hand on my heart
And it starts with a mess of courage
You won't rattle me no more
I feeeeeelt the weight and now no more
Said all there is left to say

CHORUS:
If you can't change it
can't carry it, leave it behind
It's too heavy, get it off my back
Lift these burdens
Lift these burdens
Lift these burdens
