Fresh Shoes

I left the old key

on the table by the door

Same cracked floor, same red scarf

but I don’t live there anymore

You can keep that name

keep the dust in the frame

I’m stepping out with both feet

I’m not asking it to stay

Heart in my throat

but it’s moving

Hands in my pockets

I’m choosing

I can feel the air

change around me

One small step

and it found me

New life, new life

I’m breathing in new life (new life)

New life, new life

I’m finally mine tonight

New life, new life

No more looking back, no

New life, new life

Watch me open that door

Got a tiny plant

in a chipped blue cup

It leans toward the window

like it knows what’s up

I burned the old list

with the promises and shame

Now the smoke goes thin

and it don’t say my name

Heart in my throat

but it’s moving

Hands in my pockets

I’m choosing

I can feel the air

change around me

One small step

and it found me

New life, new life

I’m breathing in new life (new life)

New life, new life

I’m finally mine tonight

New life, new life

No more looking back, no

New life, new life

Watch me open that door

If I shake a little

let me shake

If I fall a little

I’ll still wake

I’ve been buried deep

I’ve been coming up

I’m not who I was

and that’s enough

New life, new life

I’m breathing in new life (new life)

New life, new life

I’m finally mine tonight

New life, new life

Let the past stay low, low

New life, new life

Watch me open that door (door)
