Lace Your Shoes
Modest Mouse Song Lyrics

I can't wait to see you lace your shoes

Things were hazy, but that all stopped with you

We passed by headstones on a walk

I overthink something, and then I forget I should talk

I can't wait to see you go to school

I hate that this will happen, but I know that it'll happen

Someone's gonna be cruel.

I can't believe the stork didn't need a crane

One then two then three of you, I'm working to be better

So that you get to do the same

We counted dark spots on the moon

The stars were barely visible, I know that I should let you count them far from this city roof.

'cause the sunshine pours out of your mouth and eyes

'cause the sunshine spills out of your mouth and eyes

And out onto the floor

And I can't see nothing anymore

No, I can't see nothing anymore

No, I can't see anything no more

It fills the skies all the way from the floor.

And i...

And i...

Don't bother looking away

And I can't see nothing anymore

No, I can't see nothing anymore

No, I can't see nothing anymore

'cause it fills the sky all the way from the.

I can't wait to see you go to school

I can't make out all the words you say

Your sister just makes noises like some sort of bird

That I just cannot seem to place.

I spend too much time out on the deck

Staring out at nothing while nothing at all blankly stares right back.

And I hope there's still something left for you

I can't wait to see which paths you choose

So that you can see animals far away from the stupid city zoo.

'cause the sunshine pours out of your mouth and eyes

'cause the sunshine spills out your mouth and eyes

And out all over the floor

And I can't see nothing anymore

No, I can't see nothing anymore

No, I can't see nothing anymore

It fills the skies all the way from the floor.

And i...

And i...

Don't bother looking away

And I can't see nothing anymore

No, I can't see nothing anymore

No, I can't see nothing anymore

'cause it fills the sky all the way from the.

And I can't wait to see you go to school

Oh, I can't wait to see you lace your shoes

I can't wait to see you go to school

And I can't wait to see which paths you choose

And I can't wait to see you go to school

I can't wait to see you give 'em hell

And I can't wait to see you go to school

I can't wait to see you lace your shoes

I can't wait to see you lace your shoes.
