I put on my slick shoes. I put on my slick shoes for you.
But the only one slipping, the only one slipping was you.
Your faith, my pace, and I chose to go fast
Then in my haste, I left you in the past
There’s still those days where I’d like to go back
But we both know it don’t go down like that
So darling don’t look to me for love
All of mine is borrowed
And if my lender calls to collect
We’ll both be left in sorrow
So darling don’t look to me for guidance
I’m a follower myself
And if my steps become unmarked
I’ll charge directly into hell
Like thanking the flowers, like thanking the flowers for the blossoms they don
Your praise was misguided, you should’ve been thanking my roots all along
Your faith, my pace, and I chose to go fast
Then in my haste, I left you in the past
There’s still those days where I’d like to go back
But we both know it don’t go down like that
So darling don’t look to me for love
All of mine is borrowed
And if my lender calls to collect
We’ll both be left in sorrow
So darling don’t look to me for guidance
I’m a follower myself
And if my steps become unmarked
I’ll charge directly into hell
