lyrics

I remember a time I was thinking
Good fortune brings love in seasons to come
Like a sting from a nettle
The prickling of needles won't come for a very long time

Well now I'm a little bit wiser
So I'm building a home from the sticks and the stones
That have weighed on my shoulders
And now that I'm older I'm finally finding out how

The shoe's on the other foot now

And all along I was pining
But truth to be told it's too close to the bone
And a hard situation
The clouds that I'm seeing are bright on the other side now

Oh I've been the outside of reason
And I've been warned to get out of town
But I'm facing what scares me
We were young, we were crazy
We were high like there's no coming down

The shoe's on the other foot now
I know how it feels to be down when your out
You believe in things you can't see
The shoes on the other foot now

The shoes on the other foot now
I know how it feels to be down when your out
You believe in things you can't see
The shoe's on the other foot now

The shoe's on the other foot now
