[Verse 1]
You say, "Go on, then"
I reach for the door
But your finger lifts my chin
And I forget what I came for
You smile like a warning
I stand there, locked in place
My pride hits the floor
When you look at my face
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to play tough
Try to make it clean
But your hand on my collar
Makes a mess of me
I turn back slow
Like I never knew
That the place I was running
Was under your shoe
[Chorus]
Under your shoe
Under your shoe
I keep coming back to you
Under your shoe
Under your shoe
I’m right where I want to be
You say sit
I sit
You say stay
I stay (stay)
Under your shoe
Under your shoe
I’m not going anywhere
[Verse 2]
I fake one more step
You laugh, soft and low
Then you pin me with a look
And I fold, you know
My hands on the latch
But my body says yes
Every time I resist
You make a better guess
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to leave
Try to save face
But you pull me closer
With that slow, sure grace
I lose my nerve
Then I lose my pride
And the whole room shrinks
When you step inside
[Chorus]
Under your shoe
Under your shoe
I keep coming back to you
Under your shoe
Under your shoe
I’m right where I want to be
You say sit
I sit
You say stay
I stay (stay)
Under your shoe
Under your shoe
I’m not going anywhere
[Bridge]
I thought I wanted freedom
Wide-open space
But your name on my tongue
Feels like home in a cage
So let me pretend
I’m breaking through
While I melt, all willing
At the edge of you
[Final Chorus]
Under your shoe
Under your shoe
I keep coming back to you
Under your shoe
Under your shoe
I’m right where I want to be
You say kneel
I kneel
You say stay
I stay (stay)
Under your shoe
Under your shoe
I’m not going anywhere
