Don't Die With Perfect Shoes

[Verse 1]
You saved the white pair for a day without rain
Kept every good thing behind glass and a name
But the road keeps calling from the edge of the door
And a life kept spotless is a life kept indoors

[Pre-Chorus]
You can’t take the miles you never chose
Dust on the leather means somewhere you’ve gone

[Chorus]
Don’t die with perfect shoes
Wear them out, wear them through
Take the long way, take the bruise
Don’t die with perfect shoes
Step in, step out, let the red clay prove
You were here, you had something to do
Don’t die with perfect shoes

[Verse 2]
Spend your good hands making something that lasts
Give your sharpest hour, don’t save it for last
Call the one you miss, take the seat by the sea
There’s no ideal moment waiting patiently

[Pre-Chorus]
You can’t take the miles you never chose
Dust on the leather means somewhere you’ve gone

[Chorus]
Don’t die with perfect shoes
Wear them out, wear them through
Take the long way, take the bruise
Don’t die with perfect shoes
Step in, step out, let the red clay prove
You were here, you had something to do
Don’t die with perfect shoes

[Bridge]
Let the hems catch rain
Let the soles wear thin
All the days you saved
Can’t be lived again

[Final Chorus]
Don’t die with perfect shoes
Wear them out, wear them through
Take the long way, take the bruise
Don’t die with perfect shoes
Step in, step out, let the red clay prove
You were here, you had something to do
Don’t die with perfect shoes

[Outro]
Wear them out, wear them through
Don’t die with perfect shoes
