Lyrics Pete Yorn – Velcro Shoes

Got new shoes today my friends
I hope you like them they have velcro straps
I think I’ll wear them home and then
Decide to rip them off and take a bath

Now in the tub I have more friends
The yellow duckie and the floating house
I think I’ll break them both again
But that’s alright ’cause I don’t need them any more
Perhaps this time we’ll build a tree house
Where we can climb and waste the boring days away
Maybe this time we’ll build a go-kart
And drive around the world
Billy let’s play
Billy let’s play

It’s time for lunch so what’s to eat?
PB and J cut up in squares of four
A glass of milk for little Pete
He’s such a good boy let him have some more
A tale of black birds in the trees
A faithless man who hides behind closed doors
So many lovely memories
A happy face was all I ever needed
Perhaps this time we’ll build a tree house
Where we can climb and waste the boring days away
Maybe this time we’ll build a go-kart
And drive around the world
Billy let’s play
Billy let’s play

Let me be for the last time

I got new shoes today my friends
I hope you like them they have velcro straps,
They do.
