These shoes don’t fit anymore.

These shoes don’t fit anymore 

I’ve worn them for years

Now I’ve got blisters

My eyes well with tears

Happy and sad

I guess somewhere in between

21 and a half came fast 

Faster than a movie screen 

“Never grow up” they said

I didn’t mean to, it happened so fast

Now I’m on my own

But I’d kill for a trip back to my sweeter past

These shoes don’t fit anymore 

No matter how hard I squeeze

Time is a thief

But my childhood will always walk with me.
